19if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,u

or the needyv without garments,

20and their hearts did not bless mew

for warming them with the fleecex from my sheep,

21if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,y

knowing that I had influence in court,z

22then let my arm fall from the shoulder,

let it be broken off at the joint.a

ESVEnglish Standard Version

if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,

or the needy without covering,

if his body has not blessed me,

and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,

if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,

because I saw my help in the gate,

then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,

and let my arm be broken from its socket.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing

or a needy person without a cloak,

if he did not bless me

while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,

if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child

when I saw that I had support in the city gate,

then let my shoulder blade fall from my back,

and my arm be pulled from its socket.

NLTNew Living Translation

Whenever I saw the homeless without clothes

and the needy with nothing to wear,

did they not praise me

for providing wool clothing to keep them warm?

“If I raised my hand against an orphan,

knowing the judges would take my side,

then let my shoulder be wrenched out of place!

Let my arm be torn from its socket!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

if I have seen the one who perishes because of no clothing

or that there is no covering for the poor,

if his loins have not blessed me,

or by means of my sheep’s fleece he has warmed himself,

if I have raised my hand against an orphan

because I saw my supporters at the gate,

then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,

and let my arm be broken from its socket.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
