Job 31:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 31:16

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

15 ^aDid 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 ^afail,

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 guided¹ the widow);

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

20 If his¹ heart has not ^ablessed me,
And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
