Job 31:16 - 31:23

“If I have held back the poor from their desire,

Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

Or have eaten my morsel alone,

And the orphan has not eaten from it

(But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,

And from the womb of my mother I guided her),

If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,

Or that the needy had no covering,

If his loins have not blessed me,

And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,

If I have waved my hand against the orphan

Because I saw my help in the gate,

Let my shoulder fall from the socket,

And my arm be broken off at the elbow.

For disaster from God is a dread to me,

And because of His exaltedness I can do nothing.
