Elisha and the Shunammite Woman

8 One day Elisha went on to ^fShunem, where a ^gwealthy woman lived, who urged him to eat some food. So whenever he passed that way, he would turn in there to eat food. 9 And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy ^hman of God who is continually passing our way. 10 Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.”

Job 29:11-17

11 When the ear heard, it called me blessed,
and when the eye saw, it approved,
12 because I ⁱdelivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13 ^jThe blessing of him who was ^kabout to perish came upon me,
and I caused ^lthe widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 I ^mput on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and ⁿa turban.
15 I was ^oeyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out ^pthe cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I ^qbroke ^rthe fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

Job 31:16-22

16 “If I have ^swithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have ^tcaused 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 ^wperish for ^xlack of clothing,
or the needy without ^ycovering,
20 if his body has not ^zblessed 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 ^abthe fatherless,
because I saw my help in ^acthe gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
