Job 31:16-28

New International Version

¹⁶ “If I have denied the desires of the poor^(A)
    or let the eyes of the widow^(B) grow weary,^(C)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
    not sharing it with the fatherless^(D)—
¹⁸ but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
    and from my birth I guided the widow^(E)—
¹⁹ if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,^(F)
    or the needy^(G) without garments,
²⁰ and their hearts did not bless me^(H)
    for warming them with the fleece^(I) from my sheep,
²¹ if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,^(J)
    knowing that I had influence in court,^(K)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
    let it be broken off at the joint.^(L)
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,^(M)
    and for fear of his splendor^(N) I could not do such things.^(O)

²⁴ “If I have put my trust in gold^(P)
    or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’^(Q)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,^(R)
    the fortune my hands had gained,^(S)
26 if I have regarded the sun^(T) in its radiance
    or the moon^(U) moving in splendor,
²⁷ so that my heart was secretly enticed^(V)
    and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,^(W)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,^(X)
    for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.^(Y)
