Bible verse
then may my arm fall from my shoulder and be torn from its socket.
Job 31:22 · BSB
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,
KJV
[Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
