Job 29:16-20

“I was a father to the poor, And I investigated the case which I did not know.

“I broke the jaws of the wicked And rescued the prey from his teeth.

“Then I thought, ‘I will die with my family, And I will multiply my days as the sand.

‘My root is spread out to the waters, And dew lies on my branch all night.

‘My glory is ever new with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.’
