(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
[Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence;
If I rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness;
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
