New International Version (NIV)

18but from my youth I reared them as a father would,

and from my birth I guided the widow—

18(But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,

And from my infancy I guided her),

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),

18though from my youth I reared him as would a father,

and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow —

18(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,

And her have I guided from my mother’s womb);

18(For from my youth hee hath growen vp with me as with a father, and from my mothers wombe I haue bene a guide vnto her)

18(no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,

I have guided her from my mother’s womb);

18From the time I was young, I’ve helped those widows.

I’ve raised those children as a father would.

18Since I was a young man,

I have helped those children like a father.

All my life I have helped widows too.

18(But from my youth || He grew up with me as [with] a father, || And from the belly of my mother I am led),
