11. “When the ear heard, it called me blessed, and when the eye saw me, it commended me;
12. for I saved the poor who cried for help, and the orphan who had no one to help him;
13. the blessing of the dying man came on me, and I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
14. I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was as my robe and turban.
15. I was eyes for the blind and feet for the lame;
16. I was a father to the needy, and I investigated the case of one I did not know.
17. I broke the jaws of the unjust, and snatched the prey out of his teeth.
18. “Then I thought, ‘I will die in my nest, and multiply my days like the sand.
19. My roots reach the water, and dew lies on my branches all night.
