Job 29:16 in the King James Version
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
Context
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him whom I didn’t know.
17 I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
