Job 31:15-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
15
Did He who made me in the womb not make him,
And the same one create us in the womb?
16
'If I have kept the poor from
their
desire,
Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17
Or have eaten my morsel alone,
And the orphan has not shared it
18
(But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,
And from my infancy I guided her),
19
If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or that the needy had no covering,
20
If his waist has not thanked me,
And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21
If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan,
Because I saw I had support in the gate,
22
May my shoulder fall from
its
socket,
And my arm be broken off at the elbow.
23
For disaster from God is a terror to me,
And because of His majesty I can do nothing.
24
'If I have put my confidence
in
gold,
And called fine gold my trust,
25
If I have gloated because my wealth was great,
And because my hand had obtained
so
much;
King James Version
Chapter 31
15
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16
If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
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;)
19
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20
If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23
For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25
If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 31
15
Did not the one who made me in the womb also make them?
Did not the same God form us both in the womb?
16
If I have refused the wishes of the poor
or let the widow’s eyes go blind,
17
if I have eaten my few crumbs alone
without letting the fatherless eat any of it—
18
for from my youth, I raised him as his father,
and since the day I was born I guided the widow—
19
if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing
or a needy person without a cloak,
20
if he did not bless me
while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,
21
if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child
when I saw that I had support in the city gate,
22
then let my shoulder blade fall from my back,
and my arm be pulled from its socket.
23
For disaster from God terrifies me,
and because of his majesty I could not do these things.
24
If I placed my confidence in gold
or called fine gold my trust,
25
if I have rejoiced because my wealth is great
or because my own hand has acquired so much,
New Living Translation
Chapter 31
15
For God created both me and my servants.
He created us both in the womb.
16
'Have I refused to help the poor,
or crushed the hopes of widows?
17
Have I been stingy with my food
and refused to share it with orphans?
18
No, from childhood I have cared for orphans like a father,
and all my life I have cared for widows.
19
Whenever I saw the homeless without clothes
and the needy with nothing to wear,
20
did they not praise me
for providing wool clothing to keep them warm?
21
'If I raised my hand against an orphan,
knowing the judges would take my side,
22
then let my shoulder be wrenched out of place!
Let my arm be torn from its socket!
23
That would be better than facing God’s judgment.
For if the majesty of God opposes me, what hope is there?
24
'Have I put my trust in money
or felt secure because of my gold?
25
Have I gloated about my wealth
and all that I own?
English Standard Version
Chapter 31
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 anything that the poor desired,
or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17
or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18
(for from my youth the fatherless grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother 's womb I guided the widow ),
19
if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
or the needy without covering,
20
if his body has not blessed me,
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21
if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,
because I saw my help in the gate,
22
then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
23
For I was in terror of calamity from God,
and I could not have faced his majesty.
24
"If I have made gold my trust
or called fine gold my confidence,
25
if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant
or because my hand had found much,
New International Version
Chapter 31
15
Did not he who made me in the womb make them?
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?
16
"If I have denied the desires of the poor
or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,
17
if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless—
18
but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow—
19
if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,
or the needy without garments,
20
and their hearts did not bless me
for warming them with the fleece from my sheep,
21
if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,
knowing that I had influence in court,
22
then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.
23
For I dreaded destruction from God,
and for fear of his splendor I could not do such things.
24
"If I have put my trust in gold
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’
25
if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,
the fortune my hands had gained,
New King James Version
Chapter 31
15
Did 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 fail,
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
the widow
);
19
If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or any poor
man
without covering;
20
If his heart has not blessed me,
And
if
he was
not
warmed 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
Then
let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.
23
For destruction
from
God
is
a terror to me,
And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.
24
“If I have made gold my hope,
Or said to fine gold, ‘
You are
my confidence’;
25
If I have rejoiced because my wealth
was
great,
And because my hand had gained much;
