11 Everyone who heard me said good things about me. Those who saw me honored me.
12 That's because I saved poor people who cried out for help. I saved helpless children whose fathers had died.
13 Those who were dying gave me their blessing. I made the hearts of widows sing.
14 I put on a godly life as if it were my clothes. Fairness was my robe and my turban.
15 I was like eyes for those who were blind. I was like feet for those who couldn't walk.
16 I was like a father to needy people. I stood up for strangers in court.
17 Sinners are like animals that have powerful teeth. But I took from their mouths the people they had caught.
