Job 31:5-23

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 followedH310 H1980 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?

16IfH518 I have deniedH4513 the desiresH2656 of the poorH1800or allowed the widow’sH490 eyesH5869 to failH3615,17if I have eatenH398 my morselH6595 aloneH905,notH3808 sharingH398 itH4480 with the fatherlessH3490—18thoughH3588 from my youthH5271 I reared himH1431 as would a fatherH1,and from my mother’sH517 wombH990 I guidedH5148 the widow—19ifH518 I have seenH7200 one perishH6 for lackH1097 of clothingH3830,or a needy manH34 withoutH369 a cloakH3682,20ifH518 his heartH2504 has notH3808 blessed meH1288 2for warming himH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532,21ifH518 I have liftedH5130 up my handH3027 againstH5921 the fatherlessH3490becauseH3588 I sawH7200 that I had supportH5833 in the gateH8179,22then may my armH248 fallH5307 from my shoulderH3802 H7929and be tornH7665 from its socketH7070.23ForH3588 calamityH343 from GodH410 terrifiesH6343 meH413,and His splendorH7613 I cannotH3808 overpowerH3201.
