Job 31:16-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 “If I have kept (A)the poor from their desire,
Or have caused the eyes of (B)the widow to fail,
17 Or have (C)eaten my morsel alone,
And (D)the orphan has not [a]shared it
18 (But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,
And from [b]infancy I guided her),
19 If I have seen anyone perish (E)for lack of clothing,
Or that (F)the needy had no covering,
20 If his loins have not [c]thanked me,
And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 If I have lifted up my hand against (G)the orphan,
Because I saw [d]I had support (H)in the gate,
22 Let my shoulder fall from the [e]socket,
And my (I)arm be broken off [f]at the elbow.
23 “For (J)calamity from God is a terror to me,
And because of (K)His [g]majesty I can do nothing.
