Job 31:16-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
16'If I have kept the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail, 17Or 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), 19If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering, 20If his waist has not thanked me, And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep, 21If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan, Because I saw I had support in the gate,King James Version
Chapter 31
16If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 17Or 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;) 19If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; 20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 31
16If I have refused the wishes of the poor or let the widow's eyes go blind, 17if I have eaten my few crumbs alone without letting the fatherless eat any of it -- 18for from my youth, I raised him as his father, and since the day I was born I guided the widow -- 19if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing or a needy person without a cloak, 20if he did not bless me while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep, 21if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child when I saw that I had support in the city gate,New Living Translation
Chapter 31
16'Have I refused to help the poor, or crushed the hopes of widows? 17Have I been stingy with my food and refused to share it with orphans? 18No, from childhood I have cared for orphans like a father, and all my life I have cared for widows. 19Whenever I saw the homeless without clothes and the needy with nothing to wear, 20did they not praise me for providing wool clothing to keep them warm?English Standard Version
Chapter 31
16“If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail, 17or 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), 19if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or the needy without covering, 20if his body has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep, 21if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,New International Version
Chapter 31
16If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary, 17if I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with the fatherless-- 18but from my youth I reared them as a father would, and from my birth I guided the widow-- 19if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or the needy without garments, 20and their hearts did not bless me for warming them with the fleece from my sheep, 21if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that I had influence in court,New King James Version
