Job 29:17 in Context — Job 29

15 Eu era olhos para o cego, e pés para o manco.

16 Aos necessitados eu era pai; e a causa que eu não sabia, investigava com empenho.

17 E quebrava os queixos do perverso, e de seus dentes tirava a presa.

18 E eu dizia: Em meu ninho expirarei, e multiplicarei [meus] dias como areia.

19 Minha raiz se estendia junto às águas, e o orvalho ficava de noite em meus ramos.
