If I have withheld the poor from[ their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

“我若不容贫寒人得其所愿，或叫寡妇眼中失望，

“我若不让贫寒人遂其所愿，或是叫寡妇眼中失望，

“我若不让贫寒人遂其所愿，或是叫寡妇眼中失望，

我何曾拒绝穷人的请求，或使寡妇眼露失望之情，

我若不给穷人所要的，或使寡妇的眼所期待的落空；

我若不容貧寒人得其所願，或叫寡婦眼中失望，

「我若不讓貧寒人遂其所願，或是叫寡婦眼中失望，

「我若不讓貧寒人遂其所願，或是叫寡婦眼中失望，

我何曾拒絕窮人的請求，或使寡婦眼露失望之情，

我若不給窮人所要的，或使寡婦的眼所期待的落空；

我若將貧寒人所願望的留住不給，或是讓寡婦的眼渴望到失明，

我若禁貧者得其所願、使嫠婦之目失望、

貧者所欲我施之、嫠者所望我遂之。

何曾使貧者不得所願、使嫠婦不得所望、

“ If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,

“ I haven’t said no to what poor people have wanted. I haven’t let widows lose their hope.

“ If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

“ Have I refused to help the poor, or crushed the hopes of widows?

If I have refused the wishes of the poor or let the widow’s eyes go blind,

“ If I have kept the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

“ If I have kept the poor from their desire, Or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

Only[ they would] that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

Because he hath oppressed[ and] hath forsaken the poor;[ because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

Like a crane[ or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail[ with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation[ that] could not save[ us].

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

Thy sons and thy daughters[ shall be] given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail[ with longing] for them all the day long: and[ there shall be] no might in thine hand.

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.But[ as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need,[ in that] which he wanteth.Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
