Job 29:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

Is not thy wickedness great? and thy iniquities infinite?

For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

Whoever stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

If thou forbearest to deliver them that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to be slain;

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
