15 The one who made me in my mother’s womb also made them. God shaped us all inside our mothers.
16 “I have never refused to help the poor. I always gave widows what they needed.
17 I have never been selfish with my food. I shared what I had with orphans.
18 All my life I have been like a father to orphans and have taken care of widows.
19 Whenever I found people suffering because they didn’t have clothes or saw a poor man with no coat,
20 I always gave them something to wear. I used the wool from my own sheep to make them warm. And they thanked me with all their heart.
