then may my arm fall from my shoulder and be torn from its socket.

Job 31:22 · BSB

Job 31:22 in context

The verses around it, from Job 31.

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.

23 For calamity from God terrifies me, and His splendor I cannot overpower.

24 If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,

25 if I have rejoiced in my great wealth because my hand had gained so much,

26 if I have beheld the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor,
