Job 31:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ “I haven’t said no to what poor people have wanted.
    I haven’t let widows lose their hope.
¹⁷ I haven’t kept my bread to myself.
    I’ve shared it with children whose fathers had died.
¹⁸ From the time I was young, I’ve helped those widows.
    I’ve raised those children as a father would.
