Job 27:15-17
Complete Jewish Bible
15 Those of his who remain are buried by plague,
and their widows do not weep.
16 Even if he piles up silver like dust
and stores away clothing [in mounds] like clay —
17 he may collect it, but the just will wear it,
and the upright divide up the silver.

And (A)their[a] widows shall not weep,

And the innocent will divide the silver.
