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 guided
1 the widow);
19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or any poor
man without covering;
20 If his
1 heart has not
ablessed me,
And
if he was
not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have raised my hand
aagainst the fatherless,
When I saw I had help in the gate;
22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.
23 For
adestruction
from God
is a terror to me,
And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.
