English Standard Version
Job 31:5-17
5"If I have walked with falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit;
6(Let me be weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)
7if my step has turned aside from the way and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has stuck to my hands,
8then let me sow, and another eat, and let what grows for me be rooted out.
9"If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door,
10then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down on her.
11For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
12for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.
13"If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me,
14what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
15Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
16"If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it
