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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
