New International Version (NIV)

16“If I have denied the desires of the poor

or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,

16¶“If I have kept the poor from their desire,

Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

16¶“If I have withheld from the poor what they desired,

Or have caused the eyes of the widow to look in vain [for relief],

16If I have denied the desires of the poor

or allowed the widow’s eyes to fail,

16“I haven’t said no to what poor people have wanted.

I haven’t let widows lose their hope.
