Job 29:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 29:18

16 I was a father to the poor,
And ^aI searched out the case that I did not know.

17 I broke ^athe fangs of the wicked,
And plucked the victim from his teeth.

18 “Then I said, ^a‘I shall die in my nest,
And multiply my days as the sand.

19 ^aMy root is spread out ^bto the waters,
And the dew lies all night on my branch.

20 My glory is fresh within me,
And my ^abow is renewed in my hand.’
