Job 31:19-34

19IfH518 I have seenH7200 anyone perishH6 1for lackH1097 of clothingH3830, Or that 2the needyH34 hadH369 noH369 coveringH3682,20IfH518 his loinsH2504 have not 3thankedH1288 me, And if he has not been warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532,21IfH518 I have liftedH5130 up my handH3027 againstH5921 4the orphanH3490, BecauseH3588 I sawH7200 5I had supportH5833 6in the gateH8179,22Let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the 7socketH7926, And my 8armH248 be brokenH7665 offH7665 9at the elbowH7070.23For 10calamityH343 from GodH410 is a terrorH6343 to me, And becauseH4480 of 11His 12majestyH7613 I canH3201 doH3201 nothingH3808.

24“IfH518 I have putH7760 my confidenceH3689 in 13goldH2091, And calledH559 fineH3800 goldH3800 my trustH4009,25IfH518 I have 14gloatedH8055 becauseH3588 my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, And becauseH3588 my handH3027 had securedH4672 so muchH3524;26IfH518 I have 15lookedH7200 at the 16sunH216 whenH3588 it shoneH1984 Or the moonH3394 goingH1980 in splendorH3368,27And my heartH3820 becameH6601 secretlyH5643 enticedH6601, And my handH3027 17threwH5401 a kissH5401 from my mouthH6310,28That tooH1571 would have been 18an iniquityH5771 calling for 19judgmentH6416, For I would have 20deniedH3584 GodH410 aboveH4480H4605.

29“Have I 21rejoicedH8055 at the extinctionH6365 of my enemyH8130, Or 22exultedH5782 whenH3588 evilH7451 befellH4672 him?3023NoH3808, 24I have not 25allowedH5414 my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 By askingH7592 for his lifeH5315 in 26a curseH423.31Have the menH4962 of my tentH168 not saidH559, ‘WhoH4310 can 27findH5414 one who has not been 28satisfiedH7646 with his meatH1320’?32The alienH1616 has not lodgedH3885 outsideH2351, For I have openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the 29travelerH734.33Have I 30coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 like 31AdamH121, By hidingH2934 my iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243,34BecauseH3588 I 32fearedH6206 the greatH7227 multitudeH1995, And the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifiedH2865 me, And keptH1826 silentH1826 and did not goH3318 out of doorsH6607?
