Job 31:16-23
New King James Version
16 “If I have kept the poor from their desire,
Or caused the eyes of the widow to (A)fail,
17 Or eaten my morsel by myself,
So that the fatherless could not eat of it
18 (But from my youth I reared him as a father,
And from my mother’s womb I guided [a]the widow);
19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or any poor man without covering;
20 If his [b]heart has not (B)blessed me,
And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have raised my hand (C)against the fatherless,
When I saw I had help in the gate;
22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.
23 For (D)destruction from God is a terror to me,
And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.
Job 31:16-23
New International Version
16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor(A)
or let the eyes of the widow(B) grow weary,(C)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless(D)—
18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow(E)—
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(F)
or the needy(G) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(H)
for warming them with the fleece(I) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(J)
knowing that I had influence in court,(K)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.(L)
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,(M)
and for fear of his splendor(N) I could not do such things.(O)
