15. Did not he that made me in the belly also make him? And did not the same one fashion us in the womb?
16. If I have disturbed the desire of the poor or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17. or have eaten my morsel alone and the fatherless has not eaten thereof;
18. (for from my youth the fatherless was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided the widow from my mother’s womb)
19. if I have seen any perish for want of clothing or any needy without a 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, even when I saw that they would all help me in the gate;
