Job 29:11

People respected Job's wisdom and really listened to what he had to say. "Those who heard of him, or witnessed his activities, could testify to the fact that: he helped the poor, the desperate, the fatherless and widows (12-13); he exercised justice by assisting the handicapped-even strangers (14-16)" (Jackson p. 63). In modern language, Job says that he was the champion of the underdog. In fact, he helped despondent grieving widows to the point that they sang for joy.
