Job 31:16-23
1599 Geneva Bible
16 If I restrained the poor of their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow [a]to fail,
17 Or have eaten my morsels alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof,
18 (For from my youth hath he grown up with me [b]as with a father, and from my mother’s womb have I been a guide unto her.)
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering,
20 If his loins have not blessed me, because he was warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 If I have lifted [c]up mine hand against the fatherless, when I saw that I might help him in the gate,
22 Let mine [d]arm fall from my shoulder, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23 For God’s punishment was [e]fearful unto me, and I could not be delivered from his Highness.
