Job 31:22

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

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

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.

24 If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
