Job 31:17-18 (Listen)

17 or have eaten my morsel alone,

and the fatherless has not eaten of it

18 (for from my youth the fatherless1 grew up with me as with a father,

and from my mother's womb I guided the widow2),

[1] 31:18 Hebrew he
[2] 31:18 Hebrew her

17 learn to do good;

lseek justice,

correct oppression;

mbring justice to the fatherless,

plead the widow's cause.

23 Your princes are rebels

and companions of thieves.

Everyone uloves a bribe

and runs after gifts.

vThey do not bring justice to the fatherless,

and the widow's cause does not come to them.
