Revised Version 1895
Job 31:16-22
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.
