Job 31:16-22

16“If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,

17if I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with the fatherless—

18but from my youth I reared them as a father would, and from my birth I guided the widow—

19if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or the needy without garments,

20and their hearts did not bless me for warming them with the fleece from my sheep,

21if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that I had influence in court,

22then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let it be broken off at the joint.
