Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

12-17. The grounds on which Job was praised (Job 29:11), his helping the afflicted (Ps 72:12) who cried to him for help, as a judge, or as one possessed of means of charity. Translate: "The fatherless who had none to help him."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

29:7-17 All sorts of people paid respect to Job, not only for the dignity of his rank, but for his personal merit, his prudence, integrity, and good management. Happy the men who are blessed with such gifts as these! They have great opportunities of honouring God and doing good, but have great need to watch against pride. Happy the people who are blessed with such men! it is a token for good to them. Here we see what Job valued himself by, in the day of his prosperity. It was by his usefulness. He valued himself by the check he gave to the violence of proud and evil men. Good magistrates must thus be a restraint to evil-doers, and protect the innocent; in order to this, they should arm themselves with zeal and resolution. Such men are public blessings, and resemble Him who rescues poor sinners from Satan. How many who were ready to perish, now are blessing Him! But who can show forth His praises? May we trust in His mercy, and seek to imitate His truth, justice, and love.

Job 31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan, Because I saw I had support in the gate,
Job 34:28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him, And that He might hear the cry of the afflicted--
Psalm 72:12 For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.
Proverbs 21:13 He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor Will also cry himself and not be answered. (NASB ©1995)
