Job 29:13

Job's Final Defense

¹² For I was a saviour to the poor when he was crying for help, to the child with no father, and to him who had no supporter. ¹³ The blessing of him who was near to destruction came on me, and I put a song of joy into the widow's heart. ¹⁴ I put on righteousness as my clothing, and was full of it; right decisions were to me a robe and a head-dress.
