New International Reader's Version

Job 31:15-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. Didn't he who made me make my servants also? Didn't the same God form us inside our mothers?

16. "I haven't said no to what poor people have wanted. I haven't let widows lose their hope.

17. I haven't kept my bread to myself. I've shared it with children whose fathers had died.

18. From the time I was young, I've helped those widows. I've raised those children as a father would.

19. Suppose I've seen people dying because they didn't have any clothes. I've seen needy people who had nothing to wear.

20. And they didn't give me their blessing when I warmed them with wool from my sheep.
