Job 31:5-23

5If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot hath hasted to deceit,

6(Let me be weighed in an even balance, and 1God will take knowledge of my blamelessness;)

7If my step have turned out of the way, and my heart followed mine eyes, and if any blot cleaveth to my hands;

8Let me sow, and another eat; and let mine offspring be rooted out.

9If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, so that I laid wait at my neighbour's door,

10Let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.

11For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity [to be judged by] the judges:

12For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

13If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contended with me,

14What then should I do when 2God riseth up? and if he visited, what should I answer him?

15Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not One fashion us in the womb?

16If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

17Or have eaten my morsel alone, so that the fatherless ate not thereof,

18(For from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have guided the [widow] from my mother's womb;)

19If I have seen any perishing for want of clothing, or any needy without covering;

20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my lambs;

21If I have lifted up my hand against an orphan, because I saw my help in the gate:

22[Then] let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone!

23For calamity from 3God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless.
