Job 31:19

Job's Final Defense Continued

¹⁸
(But from my youth the orphan grew up with me as with a father,
And from my mother’s womb I have been the widow’s guide),
¹⁹ 
If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or any poor person without covering,
²⁰
If his loins have not thanked and blessed me [for clothing them],
And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,

Give To The Poor

Job 22:6

“For you have taken pledges of your brothers without cause,
And stripped men naked.

2 Chronicles 28:15

Then the men who were designated by name rose up and took the captives, and from the spoil they clothed all those who were naked; they clothed them and gave them sandals, and fed them and gave them [something to] drink, anointed them [with oil, as was a host’s duty], and led all the feeble ones on donkeys, and they brought them to Jericho, the City of Palm Trees, to their brothers (fellow descendants of Israel, i.e. Jacob). Then they returned to Samaria.

Job 24:4

“They crowd the needy off the road;
The poor of the land all hide themselves.

Job 29:13

“The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me,
And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.

Isaiah 58:7

“Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry
And bring the homeless poor into the house;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not to hide yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?

Matthew 25:36

I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me [with help and ministering care]; I was in prison, and you came to Me [ignoring personal danger].’

Matthew 25:43

I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me [with help and ministering care].’

So Peter got up [at once] and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upstairs room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing [him] all the tunics and robes that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.

James 2:16

and one of you says to them, “Go in peace [with my blessing], [keep] warm and feed yourselves,” but he does not give them the necessities for the body, what good does that do?

1 John 3:18

Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words].
