18:029:015 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
18:029:016 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I
searched out.
18:029:017 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out
of his teeth.
18:029:018 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my
days as the sand.
18:029:019 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all
night upon my branch.
18:029:020 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
18:029:021 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my
counsel.
18:029:022 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped
upon them.
18:029:023 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their
mouth wide as for the latter rain.
18:029:024 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of
my countenance they cast not down.
