Job 29:15

Job 29:15

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. The Persian kings had officials, whom they called their "eyes" and their "ears"—observers who were to inform them of all that went on in the provinces.

Job acted as "eyes" to the blind of his time, giving them the information which their infirmity hindered them from obtaining. He was also feet to the lame, taking messages for them, going on their errands, and the like.

He was kind and helpful to his fellow-men, not only in great, but also in little matters.
