Job 29:18

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

¹⁷ I shattered the fangs of the unjust and snatched the prey from his teeth.

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.

²⁰ My glory is ever new within me, and my bow is renewed in my hand.’
