Job 31:16-21

16 If I have awithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have bcaused 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
Hebrew he
grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow
Hebrew her
),
19if I have seen anyone eperish for flack of clothing,
or the needy without gcovering,
20if 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,
21if I have raised my hand against jthe fatherless,
because I saw my help in kthe gate,
