Job 31:13-23
13If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant,When they contendedH7378 with me;14What then shall I do when GodH410 riseth up?And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?15Did not he that madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him?And did not oneH259 fashion us in the wombH990?16If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 fromtheirdesireH2656,Or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615,17Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 aloneH905,And the fatherlessH3490 hath not eatenH398 thereof18(Nay, from my youthH5271 he grewH1431 up with me as with a fatherH1,And her have I guidedH5148 from my mother’sH517 wombH990);19If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830,Or that the needyH34 had no coveringH3682;20If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me,And if he hath not been warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheep;21If I have lifted up my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490,Because I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:22Then let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the shoulder-blade,And mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the bone.23For calamityH343 from GodH410 is a terrorH6343 to me,And by reason of his majestyH7613 I can do nothing.
