“Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.”
Then let my arm fall from my shoulder, and my arm be broken from the bone, invoking the judgment that Job's arm—symbol of his power and capability—be shattered, if he has abused the orphan. The falling from shoulder and breaking from bone suggests violent disability. The verse specifies disability as appropriate judgment for such abuse.
