Job 31:19-34

19If I have seenH7200 any perishingH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any needyH34 without coveringH3682;

20If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he were not warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my lambsH3532;

21If I have lifted up my handH3027 against an orphan, because I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:

22[Then] let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the shoulder-blade, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the bone!

23For calamityH343 from 1GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless.

24If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hope, or saidH559 to the fine goldH2091, My confidenceH4009!

25If I rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and because my handH3027 had gotten much;

28This alsoH1571 would be an iniquityH5771 for the judge, for I should have deniedH3584 the 2GodH410 who is above.

29If I rejoicedH8055 at the destruction of him that hatedH8130 me, and exulted when evilH7451 befell him;

30(Neither have I suffered my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by askingH7592 his lifeH5315 with a curseH423;)

31If the men of my tentH168 saidH559 not, Who shall find one that hath not been satisfiedH7646 with his meatH1320? —

32The stranger did not lodge without; I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the pathway.

33If I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, by hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosom,

34Because I feared the greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrified me, so that I kept silence, and wentH3318 not out of the doorH6607, ...
