Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 29 of Job. Job remembers how he helped the poor, the orphan, and those in need, and how his righteousness gave him moral authority. His former greatness is described primarily through service and defense of the vulnerable, not merely through wealth. This memory strengthens his argument that his present suffering cannot simply be explained as punishment for a life characterized by injustice.

Denn ich errettete den Armen, der da schrie, und den Waisen, der keinen Helfer hatte.
Porque libraba al pobre que gritaba, Y al huérfano que carecía de ayudador.
porque yo rescataba al pobre que clamaba y al huérfano que no tenía quien lo ayudara.
Car je sauvais le pauvre qui implorait du secours, Et l'orphelin qui manquait d'appui.
Perciocchè io liberava il povero che gridava, E l’orfano che non avea chi l’aiutasse.
Porque eu livrava o miserável, que clamava, como também o órfão que não tinha quem o socorresse.
因我拯救了哀求的困苦人 和無人幫助的孤兒。
