Job 31:19-34

19If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830,Or that the needyH34 had no coveringH3682;20If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me,And if he hath not been warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheep;21If I have lifted up my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490,Because I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:22Then let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the shoulder-blade,And mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the bone.23For calamityH343 from GodH410 is a terrorH6343 to me,And by reason of his majestyH7613 I can do nothing.24If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hope,And have saidH559 to the fine goldH2091, Thou artmy confidenceH4009;25If I have rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227,And because my handH3027 had gotten much;26If I have beheld the sun when it shined,Or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightness,27And my heartH3820 hath been secretly enticedH6601,And my mouthH6310 hath kissedH5401 my handH3027:28This alsoH1571 were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judges;For I should have deniedH3584 the GodH410 that is above.29If I have rejoicedH8055 at the destruction of him that hatedH8130 me,Or lifted up myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him30(Yea, I have not suffered my mouthH2441 to sinH2398By askingH7592 his lifeH5315 with a curseH423);31If the men of my tentH168 have not saidH559,Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meatH1320?32(The sojournerH1616 hath not lodged in the streetH2351;But I have openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the traveller);33If like AdamH121 I have coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588,By hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosom,34Because I feared the greatH7227 multitudeH1995,And the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrified me,So that I kept silence, and wentH3318 not out of the doorH6607—
