Job 31:16-23

16 If I have denied what the poor wanted, made a widow's eyes tired,

16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,

17 eaten my morsel alone, and not shared any with an orphan

17 if I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with the fatherless—

18 (for from my youth I raised the orphan as a father, and from my mother's womb I led the widow);

18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would, and from my birth I guided the widow—

19 if I ever saw someone dying without clothes, the needy naked;

19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or the needy without garments,

20 if they haven't blessed me fervently, or if they weren't warmed by the wool from my sheep;

20 and their hearts did not bless me for warming them with the fleece from my sheep,

21 if I have lifted my hand against the orphans, when I saw that I had help in the city gate—

21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that I had influence in court,

22 may my arm fall from my shoulder, my forearm be broken at the elbow—

22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let it be broken off at the joint.

23 for God's calamity is terror to me; I couldn't endure his splendor.

23 For I dreaded destruction from God, and for fear of his splendor I could not do such things.
