Bible verse
though from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow—
Job 31:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 31.
14 what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?
15 Did not He who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same One form us in the womb?
16 If I have denied the desires of the poor or allowed the widow’s eyes to fail,
17 if I have eaten my morsel alone, not sharing it with the fatherless—
18 though from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow—
19 if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a cloak,
20 if his heart has not blessed me for warming him with the fleece of my sheep,
21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless because I saw that I had support in the gate,
22 then may my arm fall from my shoulder and be torn from its socket.
