THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Job (Author Job and/or Moses)

29:11When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

29:12Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

29:13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

29:14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

29:15I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

29:16I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

29:17And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

31:16If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

31:17Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

31:18(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

31:19If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

31:20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

31:21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

31:22Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

31:23For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
