Verse 23 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.
