Job 29:13

Job's Final Defense

¹² For I delivered the afflicted that cried, and the fatherless who had no helper. ¹³ The blessing of him that was perishing came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. ¹⁴ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was as a mantle and a turban.
