For from my youth I reared him like a father, and from my mother's womb I guided the orphan, extending the depiction of Job's care for orphans by depicting his paternal role established from youth and continuity from the earliest stages of the orphan's life. The rearing like a father suggests not merely material provision but familial care. The guiding from the womb suggests involvement from the earliest vulnerable stage. The verse establishes that Job's care for orphans has been comprehensive and lifelong.
