18 (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, I have guided her from my mother’s womb);
19 if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
20 if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;

22 then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
