Job 31:20

¹⁸ (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)

¹⁹ If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

²¹ If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

²² Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
