Job 31:16-23

Bible Text

[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, Her have I guided 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, By reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
