New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 29
9 "The princes stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;
10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to their palate.
11 "For when the ear heard, it called me blessed, And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me,
12 Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.
13 "The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.
14 "I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 "I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame.
16 "I was a father to the needy, And I investigated the case which I did not know.
17 "I broke the jaws of the wicked And snatched the prey from his teeth.
18 "Then I thought, ’I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 ’My root is spread out to the waters, And dew lies all night on my branch.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
