Job 31:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 if I have eaten my morsel alone, not sharing it with the fatherless—

18 though from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow—

19 if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a cloak,

20 if his heart has not blessed me for warming him with the fleece of my sheep,

21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless because I saw that I had support in the gate,
