Job 31:15-17
New English Translation
15 Did not the one who made me in the womb make them?[a]
Did not the same one form us in the womb?
16 If I have refused to give the poor what they desired,[b]
or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 If I ate my morsel of bread myself,
and did not share any of it with orphans[c]—

- Job 31:16 tn Heb “kept the poor from [their] desire.”
- Job 31:17 tn Heb “and an orphan did not eat from it.”
