16. I have never refused to help the poor;never have I let widows live in despair
17. or let orphans go hungry while I ate.
18. All my life I have taken care of them.
19. When I found someone in need,too poor to buy clothes,
20. I would give him clothing made of woolthat had come from my own flock of sheep.Then he would praise me with all his heart.
21. If I have ever cheated an orphan,knowing I could win in court,
22. then may my arms be broken;may they be torn from my shoulders.
