The Gospel of Job



(Bangkok prostitute)

We see, in Job 29:11-17, precursors of the real Gospel of the kingdom of God.

11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me,


and those who saw me commended me,

12 because I rescued the poor who cried for help,

and the fatherless who had none to assist him.

13 The man who was dying blessed me;

I made the widow's heart sing.

14 I put on righteousness as my clothing;

justice was my robe and my turban.

15 I was eyes to the blind

and feet to the lame.

16 I was a father to the needy;

I took up the case of the stranger.

17 I broke the fangs of the wicked

and snatched the victims from their teeth.
