13 "The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me, And I made the widow's heart sing for joy.
14 "I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 "I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame.
16 "I was a father to the needy, And I investigated the case which I did not know.
17 "I broke the jaws of the wicked And snatched the prey from his teeth.
18 "Then I thought, 'I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 'My root is spread out to the waters, And dew lies all night on my branch.
