Job 31:16-23
16If I have refused the wishes of the poor or let the widow’s eyes go blind,
17if I have eaten my few crumbs alone without letting the fatherless eat any of it —
18for from my youth, I raised him as his father, and since the day I was born I guided the widow —
19if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing or a needy person without a cloak,
20if he did not bless me while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,
21if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child when I saw that I had support in the city gate,
22then let my shoulder blade fall from my back, and my arm be pulled from its socket.
23For disaster from God terrifies me, and because of his majesty I could not do these things.
