“⌞Any⌟ ears that heard me blessed me. ⌞Any⌟ eyes that saw me spoke well of me, because I rescued the poor who called ⌞for help⌟ and the orphans who had no one to help them. I received a blessing from the dying. I made the widow’s heart sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it was my clothing. I practiced justice, and it was my robe and my turban. I was eyes for the blind person. I was feet for the lame person. I was father to the needy. I carefully investigated cases brought by strangers. I broke the teeth of the wicked person and made him drop the prey out of his mouth.
ReplyDeleteJob 29:11-17 GW
“People listened to me eagerly, quietly waiting for my advice. After I had spoken, they wouldn’t speak again. After all, my words fell gently on them. They were as eager to hear me as they were for rain. They opened their mouths wide as if waiting for a spring shower. When I smiled at them, they could hardly believe it, but the expression on my face did not change. I decided how they should live. I sat as their leader. I lived like a king among his troops, like one who comforts mourners.
