Job 31:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ Suppose I’ve seen people dying
    because they didn’t have enough clothes.
I’ve seen needy people
    who didn’t have enough to keep warm.
²⁰ And they didn’t give me their blessing
    when I warmed them with wool from my sheep.
²¹ Suppose I’ve raised my hand
    against children whose fathers have died.
And I did it because I knew
    I had power in the courts.
