" If I have withheld the poor fromtheirdesire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail, "
— Job 31:16, American Standard Version
“If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;”
“"If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,”
“If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,”
“If I have denied to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait:”
“If I kept back the desire of the poor; if the widow's eye was looking for help to no purpose;”
“If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;”
If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;
What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
If I have withheld the poor fromtheirdesire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof
(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother’s womb);
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;
