The Fathers on this verse
St John Chrysostom Homilies on First Corinthians, Homily XXXIV
Such also was the blessed Job. “For my door,” saith, “was open to every one who came: ( Job xx. 15 .) “I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame: I was a father of the helpless, the stranger lodged not without, and the helpless, whatever need they had, failed not of it, neither suffered I one helpless man to go out of my door with a empty bosom.” And much more too than these, that we may not now recount all, he continued to do, spending all his wealth on the needy.
