Read it in 5 translations

If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

if his heart has not blessed me for warming him with the fleece of my sheep,

if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;

If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself,

17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)

19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

20 If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

22 [Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

23 For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
