Job 29:16 in Context — Job 29
14 Vestíame de justicia, y ella me vestía como un manto; y mi toca era juicio.
15 Yo era ojos al ciego, y pies al cojo.
16 A los menesterosos era padre; y de la causa que no entendía, me informaba con diligencia:
17 Y quebraba los colmillos del inicuo, y de sus dientes hacía soltar la presa.
18 Y decía yo: En mi nido moriré, y como arena multiplicaré días.
