Job 31:21
Compare all
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,

Let my arm be torn from the socket.
23 For adestruction from God is a terror to me,

Or said to fine gold, ‘You are my confidence’; 
25 aIf I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,
And because my hand had gained much;
