Job 31:16-23

World English Bible

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 alone,
    and the fatherless has not eaten of it
¹⁸ (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,
    I have guided her from my mother’s womb);
¹⁹ if I have seen any perish for want of clothing,
    or that the needy had no covering;
²⁰ if his heart hasn’t blessed me,
    if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;
²¹ if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,
    because I saw my help in the gate,
²² then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade,
    and my arm be broken from the bone.
²³ For calamity from God is a terror to me.
    Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.
