When the ear heard, it commended me, and when the eye saw, it approved. This is because I delivered the poor who cried, and the orphan who had no helper. The blessing of the wretched came upon me. I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. read more.
I put on righteousness and it clothed me. My justice was like a robe and a turban. I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy! I championed the cause of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous. I made them drop their prey from their teeth.

If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail, If I have eaten my morsel alone, and the orphan has not eaten from it, for from my youth I reared the orphan like a father, and from my mother's womb I guided the widow. read more.
If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or a poor person without covering, whose loins have not blessed me, and who was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; if I have raised my hand against the orphan, because I saw I had supporters at the gate; then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket. I was in terror of destruction from God and I could not face his majesty.
