In Context

18 (Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide from my mother's womb;)

19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;

20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate:

22 Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

23 For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I could do nothing.
