Job 31:16-23
Authorized (King James) Version
16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire,
or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17 or have eaten my morsel myself alone,
and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18 (for from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father,
and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)
19 if I have seen any perish for want of clothing,
or any poor without covering;
20 if his loins have not blessed me,
and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,
when I saw my help in the gate:
22 then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade,
and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23 For destruction from God was a terror to me,
and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
