King James Version
"If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:"
— Job 31:21, King James Version
“If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate: ”
“if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,”
“if I have raised my hand to vote against the orphan, when I saw my support in the court,”
“If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw myself superior in the gate:”
“If my hand had been lifted up against him who had done no wrong, when I saw that I was supported by the judges;”
“If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:”
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
