31:16 If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, 1
or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
31:17 If I ate my morsel of bread myself,
and did not share any of it with orphans 2 –
31:18 but from my youth I raised the orphan 3 like a father,
and from my mother’s womb 4
I guided the widow! 5
31:19 If I have seen anyone about to perish for lack of clothing,
or a poor man without a coat,
31:20 whose heart did not bless me 6
as he warmed himself with the fleece of my sheep, 7
31:21 if I have raised my hand 8 to vote against the orphan,
when I saw my support in the court, 9
31:22 then 10 let my arm fall from the shoulder, 11
let my arm be broken off at the socket. 12
