Job 31:19-23
19If I have seen anyone perish 1for lack of clothing, Or that 2the needy had no covering,20If his waist has not 3thanked me, And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,21If I have lifted up my hand against 4the orphan, Because I saw 5I had support 6in the gate,22May my shoulder fall from its 7socket, And my 8arm be broken off 9at the elbow.23For 10disaster from God is a terror to me, And because of 11His majesty I can do nothing.
