Job 31:13-40

13If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contendedH7378 with me, 14What then should I do when 1GodH410 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 2GodH410 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 3GodH410 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.
