18 Since the time I was young,I have cared for orphansand helped widows.
19 I provided clothes for the poor,
20 and I was praisedfor supplying woollen garmentsto keep them warm.
21 If I have ever raised my armto threaten an orphanwhen the power was mine,
22 I hope that arm will fallfrom its socket.
23 I could not have been abusive;I was terrified at the thoughtthat God might punish me.
24 I have never trustedthe power of wealth,
