Job 29:14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; justice was my robe and my turban.
BSB
ASV
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
KJV
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
I put on righteousness - Or “justice” - as a magistrate, and in all his transactions with his fellow-men. It is common to compare moral conduct or traits of character with various articles of apparel; compare Isa 11:5, note; Isa 61:10, note. And it clothed me - It was my covering; I was adorned with it. So we speak of being “clothed with humility;” and so, also, of the “garments of salvation.” My judgment - Or rather justice - particularly as a magistrate.
Darkness - I passed safely through many difficulties, and dangers, and common calamities. Seat - When I caused the seat of justice to be set for me. By this, and several other expressions, it appears that Job was a magistrate.
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."
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
