New King James Version

Job 31:14-21 New King James Version (NKJV)

14. What then shall I do when God rises up?When He punishes, how shall I answer Him?

15. Did not He who made me in the womb make them?Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

16. “If I have kept the poor from their desire,Or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

17. Or eaten my morsel by myself,So that the fatherless could not eat of it

18. (But from my youth I reared him as a father,And from my mother’s womb I guided the widow);

19. If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,Or any poor man without covering;

20. If his heart has not blessed me,And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21. If I have raised my hand against the fatherless,When I saw I had help in the gate;
