I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

Verse 14 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.

Gerechtigkeit war mein Kleid, das ich anzog wie einen Rock; und mein Recht war mein fürstlicher Hut.
Vestíame de justicia, y ella me vestía como un manto; Y mi toca era juicio.
Me vestía de justicia y ella me cubría; mi derecho era como un manto y un turbante.
Je me revêtais de la justice et je lui servais de vêtement, J'avais ma droiture pour manteau et pour turban.
Io mi vestiva di giustizia, ed ella altresì mi rivestiva; La mia dirittura mi era come un ammanto, e come una benda.
Vestia-me da justiça, e ela me servia de vestimenta; como manto e diadema era a minha justiça.
我穿上公義,它遮蔽我; 我的公平如外袍和冠冕。
