Job 29:11-19 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. “⌊Any⌋ ears that heard me blessed me.⌊Any⌋ eyes that saw me spoke well of me,

12. because I rescued the poor who called ⌊for help⌋and the orphans who had no one to help them.

13. I received a blessing from the dying.I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.

14. I put on righteousness, and it was my clothing.I practiced justice, and it was my robe and my turban.

15. I was eyes for the blind person.I was feet for the lame person.

16. I was father to the needy.I carefully investigated cases brought by strangers.

17. I broke the teeth of the wicked personand made him drop the prey out of his mouth.

18. “I thought, ‘I may die in my own house,but I will make my days as numerous as the sand.

19. My roots will grow toward the water,and dew will lie on my branches all night.
