International Children’s Bible

Job 31:12-19 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. It is like a fire that burns and destroys forever.It would destroy all I have.

13. “I have been fair to my male and female slaveswhen they had a complaint against me.

14. If I have not, how could I tell God what I did?What will I answer when God asks me to explain what I’ve done?

15. God made me in my mother’s womb, and he also made them.The same God formed both of us in our mothers’ wombs.

16. “I have never refused anything the poor wanted.I have never let widows give up hope while looking for help.

17. I have not kept my food to myself.I have also given it to the orphans.

18. Since I was young, I have been like a father to the orphans.And from my birth I guided the widows.

19. I have not let a person die because he had no clothes.I have not let a needy person go without a coat.
