18:029:009 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.

18:029:010 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

18:029:011 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

18:029:012 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

18:029:013 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

18:029:014 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

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.
