21If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in him the gate of my court,


In Context

18 (But from my youth He grew up with me as with a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)

19 If I see any perishing without clothing, And there is no covering to the needy,

20 If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself,

21 If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in him the gate of my court,

22 My shoulder from its blade let fall, And mine arm from the bone be broken.

23 For a dread unto me is calamity from God, And because of His excellency I am not able.
