Job 31:21 in context

  1. 19If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;
  2. 20If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
  3. 21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:
  4. 22Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.
  5. 23For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
