The Scriptures 1998

Job 31:15-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. Did not He who made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?

16. If I have withheld the poor from pleasure, or caused the widow’s eyes to fail,

17. or eaten my piece of bread by myself, and the fatherless did not eat of it –

18. but from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided her –

19. if I have seen anyone perish for lack of garments, or a poor one without covering;

20. if his loins have not blessed me, and he warmed himself 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;

22. let my arm fall from my shoulder, and my arm be broken from the bone.
