Job 31:5-17
5IfH518 I have walkedH1980 inH5973 falsehoodH7723 or my footH7272 has rushedH2363 toH5921 deceitH4820,6let God weigh meH8254 with honestH6664 scalesH3976, that HeH433 may knowH3045 my integrityH8538.7IfH518 my stepsH838 have turnedH5186 fromH4480 the pathH1870, if my heartH3820 has followedH310H1980 my eyesH5869, or if impurityH3971 has stuckH1692 to my handsH3709,8then may anotherH312 eatH398 what I have sownH2232, and may my cropsH6631 be uprootedH8327.
9IfH518 my heartH3820 has been enticedH6601 byH5921 my neighbor’sH7453 wifeH802,or I have lurkedH693 atH5921 his doorH6607,10then may my own wifeH802 grindH2912 grain for anotherH312,and may other menH312 sleepH3766 with herH5921.11ForH3588 thatH1931 would be a heinous crimeH2154,an iniquityH5771 to be judgedH6414.12ForH3588 itH1931 is a fireH784 that burnsH398 down toH5704 AbaddonH11;1it would root outH8327 my entireH3605 harvestH8393.
13IfH518 I have rejectedH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservantH5650 or maidservantH519when they made a complaintH7379 against meH5978,14whatH4100 will I doH6213 whenH3588 GodH410 rises to judgeH6965?HowH4100 will I answerH7725 whenH3588 called to accountH6485?15Did notH3808 He who made meH6213 in the wombH990 also make themH6213?Did not the same OneH259 form usH3559 in the wombH7358?
