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.
20 My glory will always be restored, and my bow will be restored to my hand.'
