Job 31:5-17

5“If I have walked with falsehood, Or if my foot has chased after deceit,

6Oh, let Him weigh me with accurate scales, And let God know my integrity.

7If my step has turned away from the way [of God], Or if my heart has [covetously] followed my eyes, Or if any spot [of guilt] has stained my hands,

8Then let me plant and [let] another eat [from the results of my labor], And let my crops be uprooted and ruined.

9“If my heart has been enticed and I was made a fool by a woman, Or if I have [covetously] lurked at my neighbor’s door [until his departure],

10Let my wife grind [meal, like a bond slave] for another [man], And let others kneel down over her.

11For adultery is a heinous and lustful crime; Moreover, it would be a sin punishable by the judges.

12For it is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (destruction, ruin, final torment); And [illicit passion] would burn and rage and uproot all my [life’s] increase [destroying everything].

13“If I have despised and rejected the claim of my male or female servants When they filed a complaint against me,

14What then could I do when God arises [to judge me]? When He calls me to account, what will I answer Him?

15Did not He who made me in the womb make my servant, And did not the same One fashion us both in the womb?

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],

17Or have eaten my morsel [of food] alone, And did not share it with the orphan
