Job 31:21

¹⁹ if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a cloak,

²⁰ if his heart has not blessed me for warming him with the fleece of my sheep,

if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless because I saw that I had support in the gate,

²² then may my arm fall from my shoulder and be torn from its socket.

²³ For calamity from God terrifies me, and His splendor I cannot overpower.
