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.

Isn't your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.

For there were that said, "We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live."

For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

"How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn't this to know me? says Yahweh.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."
