If his loins have not blessed me and he has not been warmed by the fleece of my sheep, extending the depiction by specifying that Job's provision has been concrete and warm—sheep's wool providing protection from cold. The blessing of loins suggests gratitude for physical provision that protects and warms. The warming by fleece of Job's own sheep suggests that Job has given up his own possessions to warm others. The verse emphasizes concrete, personal sacrifice for others' welfare.
