Job 29:11-16
New International Version
Job 29:11-16
New International Version
11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,(A)
12 because I rescued the poor(B) who cried for help,
and the fatherless(C) who had none to assist them.(D)
13 The one who was dying blessed me;(E)
I made the widow’s(F) heart sing.
14 I put on righteousness(G) as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.(H)
15 I was eyes(I) to the blind
and feet to the lame.(J)
16 I was a father to the needy;(K)
I took up the case(L) of the stranger.(M)
Job 29:11-16
King James Version
Job 29:11-16
King James Version
11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

Job 31:16-21
New International Version
16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor(A)
or let the eyes of the widow(B) grow weary,(C)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless(D)—
18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow(E)—
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(F)
or the needy(G) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(H)
for warming them with the fleece(I) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(J)
knowing that I had influence in court,(K)

Job 31:16-21
King James Version
16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
