13 “If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant,
when they brought a complaint against me,

And did not one fashion us in the womb?
16 “If I have ^kwithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have ^lcaused 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 ^{▼▼Hebrew he} grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow ^{▼▼Hebrew her}),
19 if I have seen anyone ^operish for ^plack of clothing,
or the needy without ^qcovering,
20 if his body has not ^rblessed me, ^{▼▼Hebrew if his loins have not blessed me}
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against ^tthe fatherless,
because I saw my help in ^uthe gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.

^aethen it was well.
Is not this ^afto know me?
declares the Lord.
