Job 31

11  For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:

12  For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, And would root out all mine increase.

13  If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;

14  What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

15  Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

16  If I have withheld the poor from `their' desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

17  Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

18  (Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother's womb);

19  If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

20  If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
