Job 31:16-23
English Standard Version
16 “If I have (A)withheld anything that the poor desired,
or have (B)caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (for from my youth the fatherless[a] grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother's womb I guided the widow[b]),
19 if I have seen anyone (C)perish for (D)lack of clothing,
or the needy without (E)covering,
20 if his body has not (F)blessed me,[c]
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against (G)the fatherless,
because I saw my help in (H)the gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
23 For I was (I)in terror of calamity from God,
and I could not have faced his (J)majesty.
Job 31:16-23
Revised Standard Version
16 “If I have withheld anything that the poor desired,
or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (for from his youth I reared him as a father,
and from his mother’s womb I guided him[a]);
19 if I have seen any one perish for lack of clothing,
or a poor man without covering;
20 if his loins have not blessed me,
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,
because I saw help in the gate;
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
23 For I was in terror of calamity from God,
and I could not have faced his majesty.
