Job 31:15-28

1. 15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

2. 16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

3. 17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

4. 18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

5. 19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

6. 20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

7. 21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

8. 22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

9. 23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

10. 24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

11. 25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

12. 26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

13. 27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

14. 28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
