"if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,"
— Job 31:21, World English Bible
“If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when 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:”
(no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, 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;
if his heart hasn't blessed me, if he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece;
if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,
then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because his majesty, I can do nothing.
"If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, 'You are my confidence;'
