Job 31:21 in Context — Job 31

19 Se eu vi alguém morrer por falta de roupa, e o necessitado sem algo que o cobrisse,

20 Se sua cintura não me bendisse, quando ele se esquentava com as peles de meus cordeiros;

21 Se levantei minha mão contra o órfão, quando vi que seria favorecido na corte judicial,

22 Que minha escápula caia do meu ombro, e meu braço se quebre de sua articulação.

23 Porque o castigo de Deus era um assombro para mim, e eu não teria poder contra sua majestade.
