16 “If I have ^awithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have ^bcaused 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 ^eperish for ^flack of clothing,
or the needy without ^gcovering,
20 if his body has not ^hblessed me, ^{▼▼Hebrew if his loins have not blessed me}
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
