Job 31:13-23

13IfH518 I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservant or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7378 with meH5978:

14WhatH4100 then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visiteth, whatH4100 shall I answerH7725 him?

15DidH6213 notH3808 he that madeH6213 meH3808 in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and didH6213 notH3808 one fashionH3559 usH6213 in the wombH990?

16IfH518 I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615;

17Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 aloneH905, and the fatherlessH3490 hath notH3808 eatenH398 thereof;

18(Nay, from my youthH5271 he grewH1431 upH1431 with meH990 as with a fatherH1, and I have been herH3588 guideH5148 from my mother’sH517 wombH990;)

19IfH518 I have seenH7200 anyH369 perishH6 for wantH1097 of clothingH3830, or that the needyH34 had noH369 coveringH3682;

20IfH518 his loinsH2504 have notH3808 blessedH1288 meH1288, and ifH518 he were notH3808 warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532;

21IfH518 I have liftedH5130 upH7200 my handH3027 againstH5921 the fatherlessH3490, becauseH3588 I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:

22Then let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the shoulderH3802 blade, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the bone.

23For calamityH343 from GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to meH413, and by reason of his excellency I couldH3201 doH3201 nothingH3808.
