Amplified Bible
Job 31:16-22
16“If I have withheld from the poor what they desired, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to look in vain [for relief],
17Or have eaten my morsel [of food] alone, And did not share it with the orphan
18(But from my youth the orphan grew up with me as with a father, And from my mother’s womb I have been the widow’s guide),
19If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or any poor person without covering,
20If his loins have not thanked and blessed me [for clothing them], And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21If I have lifted my hand against the orphan, Because I saw [that the judges would be] my help at the [council] gate,
22Then let my shoulder fall away from its socket, And my arm be broken off at the elbow.
