Job 31:16-23
16If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17If I ate my morsel of bread myself, and did not share any of it with orphans –
18but from my youth I raised the orphan like a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow!
19If I have seen anyone about to perish for lack of clothing, or a poor man without a coat,
20whose heart did not bless me as he warmed himself with the fleece of my sheep,
21if I have raised my hand to vote against the orphan, when I saw my support in the court,
22then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let my arm be broken off at the socket.
23For the calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his majesty I was powerless.
