American Standard Version
Job 31:19-34
19If I have seen any perish for want of clothing,Or that the needy had no covering;20If his loins have not blessed me,And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,Because I saw my help in the gate:22Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade,And mine arm be broken from the bone.23For calamity from God is a terror to me,And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.24If I have made gold my hope,And have said to the fine gold, Thou artmy confidence;25If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,And because my hand had gotten much;26If I have beheld the sun when it shined,Or the moon walking in brightness,27And my heart hath been secretly enticed,And my mouth hath kissed my hand:28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges;For I should have denied the God that is above.29If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me,Or lifted up myself when evil found him30(Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sinBy asking his life with a curse);31If the men of my tent have not said,Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?32(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street;But I have opened my doors to the traveller);33If like Adam I have covered my transgressions,By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,34Because I feared the great multitude,And the contempt of families terrified me,So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—
