Job 29:17

¹⁵ I served as eyes to the blind and as feet to the lame.

¹⁶ I was a father to the needy, and I took up the case of the stranger.

I shattered the fangs of the unjust and snatched the prey from his teeth.

¹⁸ So I thought: ‘I will die in my nest and multiply my days as the sand.

¹⁹ My roots will spread out to the waters, and the dew will rest nightly on my branches.
