Job 31:17-21
– – v. 19–20: Job explains that he provided clothing to those who needed it. If I have seen any perish for want of clothing (Job 31:19 a), he made sure they had warm clothes made from the fleece of his own sheep. The people he helped were thankful and blessed him (Job 31:20 b). – v. 21: Job never used his power to take advantage of orphans. If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate , he would deserve punishment. Job refused to use his position to harm those who could not protect themselves.
