Job 29:12 in context

  1. 10The voice of the nobles was hushed,
    and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
  2. 11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me;
    and when the eye saw me, it commended me:
  3. 12Because I delivered the poor who cried,
    and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,
  4. 13the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me,
    and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
  5. 14I put on righteousness, and it clothed me.
    My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
