13 The blessing of him who would have been destroyed came upon me, and I consoled the heart of the widow.
14 I put on justice, and I clothed myself with my judgment, like a robe and a diadem.
15 I was an eye for the blind and a foot for the lame.
16 I was the father of the poor; and if I lacked knowledge about any case, I investigated very diligently.
17 I crushed the jaws of the impious, and I took away prey from his teeth.
18 And I said, "I will die in my little nest, and like a palm tree, I will multiply my days.
19 My root has been spread beside the waters, and the dew will remain with my harvest.
