Job 29:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 29:16

14 ^aI put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.

15 I was ^aeyes to the blind,
And I was feet to the lame.

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.’
