Ayub 29:16

29:16 I was a father ¹  to the needy,

and I investigated the case of the person I did not know;

Mazmur 140:13

140:13 Certainly the godly will give thanks to your name;

the morally upright will live in your presence.

[29:16]  ¹ sn The word “father” does not have a wide range of meanings in the OT. But there are places that it is metaphorical, especially in a legal setting like this where the poor need aid.
