Job 31:21

Job's Final Defense Continued

²⁰ if his body has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep, ²¹ If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan,
Because I saw I had support in the gate,
²² then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.
