ISV(i)
13 No Abuse of Servants“If I’ve refused to help my male and female servants when they complain against me,
14 what will I do when God stands up to act? When he asks the questions, how will I answer him?
15 The one who made me in the womb made them, too, didn’t he? Didn’t the same one prepare each of us in the womb?”
16No Injustice on the Poor“If I refused to grant the desire of the poor or exhausted the eyes of the widow,
17 if I ate my meals by myself without feeding orphans,
18 (even a poor man had grown up with me as if I were his father, and even though I had guided the widow from the time I was born),
19 if I’ve observed someone who is about to die for lack of clothes or if I have no clothing to give to the poor,
20 if he hadn’t thanked me from the bottom of his heart, if he had not been warmed by wool from my sheep,
21 if I’ve raised my hand against an orphan when I thought I would against him in court,
22 then let my arm fall from its socket; and may my arm be torn off at the shoulder.
