Job 29:15-25

15 I was the eye of the blind, and the foot of the lame.
16 I was the father of the helpless; and I searched out the cause which I knew not.
17 And I broke the jaw-teeth of the unrighteous; I plucked the spoil out of the midst of their teeth.
18 And I said, My age shall continue as the stem of a palm-tree; I shall live a long while.
19 root was spread out by the water, and the dew would lodge on my crop.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and by bow prospered in his hand.
21 heard me, and gave heed, and they were silent at my counsel.
22 At my word they spoke not again, and they were very gland whenever I spoke to them.
23 As the thirsty earth expecting the rain, so they my speech.
24 Were I to laugh on them, they would not believe ; and the light of my face has not failed.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the midst of warriors, as one comforting mourners.
