Job 29:12-17
Christian Standard Bible
12 For I rescued the poor who cried out for help,
and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.(A)
13 The dying blessed me,
and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.
14 I clothed myself in righteousness,(B)
and it enveloped me;
my just decisions were like a robe and a turban.
15 I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.(C)
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I examined the case of the stranger.
17 I shattered the fangs of the unjust(D)
and snatched the prey from his teeth.

and feet to the lame.(I)

I took up the case(K) of the stranger.(L)

and snatched the victims(M) from their teeth.(N)

Job 29:12-17
King James Version
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
