Job 31:16-21 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
16
"If I have denied the desires of the poor1 or let the eyes of the widow2 grow weary,3
17
if I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with the fatherless4--
18
but from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my birth I guided the widow5--
19
if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,6 or a needy7 man without a garment,
20
and his heart did not bless me8 for warming him with the fleece9 from my sheep,
21
if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,10 knowing that I had influence in court,11
