Job 31

1I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with mine eyesH5869; and howH4100 should I fix my regard upon a maid? 2For what would have been [my] portionH2506 of 1GodH433 from above, and what the heritage of the AlmightyH7706 from on highH4791? 3Is not calamityH343 for the unrighteous? and misfortune for the workers of iniquity? 4Doth not he seeH7200 my waysH1870, and number all my stepsH6806? 5If I have walkedH1980 with falsehoodH7723, and my footH7272 hath hasted to deceitH4820, 6(Let me be weighedH8254 in an even balance, and 2GodH433 will take knowledge of my blamelessness;) 7If my stepH838 have turnedH5186 out of the wayH1870, and my heartH3820 followed mine eyesH5869, and if any blot cleaveth to my handsH3709; 8Let me sowH2232, and another eatH398; and let mine offspring be rooted out. 9If my heartH3820 have been enticedH6601 unto a womanH802, so that I laid waitH693 at my neighbour's doorH6607, 10Let my wifeH802 grindH2912 for another, and let othersH312 bowH3766 downH3766 upon her. 11For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquityH5771 [to be judged by] the judges: 12For it is a fireH784 that consumeth to destruction, and would rootH8327 out all mine increase. 13If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contendedH7378 with me, 14What then should I do when 3GodH410 riseth up? and if he visitedH6485, what should I answer him? 15Did not he that madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and did not OneH259 fashion us in the wombH990? 16If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from [their] desireH2656, or caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615; 17Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 aloneH905, so that the fatherlessH3490 ateH398 not thereof, 18(For from my youthH5271 he grewH1431 up with me as with a fatherH1, and I have guidedH5148 the [widow] from my mother's wombH990;) 19If I have seenH7200 any perishingH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any needyH34 without coveringH3682; 20If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he were not warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my lambsH3532; 21If I have lifted up my handH3027 against an orphan, because I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179: 22[Then] let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the shoulder-blade, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the bone! 23For calamityH343 from 4GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless. 24If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hope, or saidH559 to the fine goldH2091, My confidenceH4009! 25If I rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and because my handH3027 had gotten much; 26If I beheld the sun when it shone, or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightness, 27And my heartH3820 have been secretly enticedH6601, so that my mouthH6310 kissedH5401 my handH3027: 28This alsoH1571 would be an iniquityH5771 for the judge, for I should have deniedH3584 the 5GodH410 who is above. 29If I rejoicedH8055 at the destruction of him that hatedH8130 me, and exulted when evilH7451 befell him; 30(Neither have I suffered my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by askingH7592 his lifeH5315 with a curseH423;) 31If the men of my tentH168 saidH559 not, Who shall find one that hath not been satisfiedH7646 with his meatH1320? — 32The stranger did not lodge without; I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the pathway. 33If I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, 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, ... 35Oh that I had oneH376 to hearH8085 me! Behold my signature: let the AlmightyH7706 answerH6030 me! And let mine opponent writeH3789 an accusation! 36Would I not takeH5375 it upon my shoulderH7926? I would bind it on to me [as] a crownH5850; 37I would declareH5046 unto him the numberH4557 of my stepsH6806; as a princeH5057 would I come near to him. 38If my landH127 cryH2199 out against me, and its furrowsH8525 weepH1058 togetherH3162; 39If I have eatenH398 the fruits thereof without moneyH3701, and have tormented to death the soulsH5315 of its ownersH1167: 40Let thistles grow instead of wheatH2406, and tares instead of barleyH8184. The wordsH1697 of JobH347 are endedH8552.
