Job 31:16-20

Good News Translation

^16 (A)I have never refused to help the poor;
    never have I let widows live in despair
¹⁷     or let orphans go hungry while I ate.
¹⁸ All my life I have taken care of them.^[a]

¹⁹ When I found someone in need,
    too poor to buy clothes,
²⁰     I would give him clothing made of wool
    that had come from my own flock of sheep.
Then he would praise me with all his heart.
