Job 31:16-22

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

16“If I have kept the poor from their desire,
Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17Or have eaten my morsel alone,
And the orphan has not shared it
18(But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,
And from my infancy I guided her),
19If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or that the needy had no covering,
20If his waist has not thanked me,
And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan,
Because I saw I had support in the gate,
22May my shoulder fall from its socket,
And my arm be broken off at the elbow.
