21if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that I had influence in court,


In Context

18 but from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my birth I guided the widow-

19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a garment,

20 and his heart did not bless me for warming him with the fleece from my sheep,

21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that I had influence in court,

22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let it be broken off at the joint.

23 For I dreaded destruction from God, and for fear of his splendor I could not do such things.
