"(for from my infancy mercy grew with me, and it came out with me from my mother’s womb;) "
— Job 31:18, Catholic Public Domain Version
“(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)”
“(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother’s womb); ”
“(no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, her have I guided from my mother's womb);”
“but from my youth I raised the orphan like a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow!”
“(For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother's womb:)”
“(For I was cared for by God as by a father from my earliest days; he was my guide from the body of my mother;)”
“(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)”
Is not he who created me in the womb, also he who labored to make him? And did not one and the same form me in the womb?
If I have denied the poor what they wanted and have made the eyes of the widow wait;
if I have eaten my morsel of food alone, while orphans have not eaten from it;
(for from my infancy mercy grew with me, and it came out with me from my mother’s womb;)
if I have looked down on him who was perishing because he had no clothing and the poor without any covering,
if his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
if I have lifted up my hand over an orphan, even when it might seem to me that I have the advantage over him at the gate;
