God’s Word Translation
Job 31:16-22
16“If I have refused the requests of the poor or made a widow’s eyes stop ⌞looking for help⌟,
17or have eaten my food alone without letting the orphan eat any of it….
18(From my youth the orphan grew up with me as though I were his father, and from my birth I treated the widow kindly.)
19If I have seen anyone die because he had no clothes or a poor person going naked….
20(If his body didn’t bless me, or the wool from my sheep didn’t keep him warm….)
21If I have shaken my fist at an orphan because I knew that others would back me up in court,
22⌞then⌟ let my shoulder fall out of its socket, and let my arm be broken at the elbow.
