Job 31:16

Neither had Job mistreated the widow, orphan, or those less fortunate. In fact, earlier Eliphaz had accused Job of failing to help those in need (Job 22:7-9). Job shared his resources, guided the widows, and practiced the truths found in Matthew 25:31ff. In fact, Job even helped those who were unappreciative of this efforts (Job 31:20). Neither had he mistreated the vulnerable in court (Job 31:21). Job had not abused his power or position as an influential man in the community. Job was also mindful that he had grown up with these people that needed help (Job 31:18). "Although his money and rank might have allowed him to influence judges and neglect the needy without his being punished, his prominence would be useless in forestalling the judgment of God" (Zuck p. 137).
