Job 31:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ I haven’t kept my bread to myself.
    I’ve shared it with children whose fathers had died.
¹⁸ From the time I was young, I’ve helped those widows.
    I’ve raised those children as a father would.
¹⁹ Suppose I’ve seen people dying
    because they didn’t have enough clothes.
I’ve seen needy people
    who didn’t have enough to keep warm.
