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 heart hasn’t blessed me,
    if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;
  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 my arm be broken from the bone.
  5. 23For calamity from God is a terror to me.
    Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.
