Job 31:5-23

5“IfH518 I have 1walkedH1980 with falsehoodH7723, And my footH7272 has hastenedH2363 afterH5921 deceitH4820,6Let Him 2weighH8254 me with 3accurateH6664 scalesH3976, And let GodH433 knowH3045 4my integrityH8538.7IfH518 my stepH838 has 5turnedH5186 from the wayH1870, Or my heartH3820 6followedH310H1980 my eyesH5869, Or if any 7spotH3971 has stuckH1692 to my handsH3709,8Let me 8sowH2232 and anotherH312 eatH398, And let my 910cropsH6631 be uprootedH8327.

9“IfH518 my heartH3820 has been 11enticedH6601 by a womanH802, Or I have lurkedH693 at my neighbor’sH7453 doorwayH6607,10May my wifeH802 12grindH2912 for anotherH312, And let 13othersH312 14kneelH3766 downH3766 overH5921 her.11For that would be a 15lustfulH2154 crimeH2154; Moreover, it would be 16an iniquityH5771 punishable by judgesH6414.12For it would be 17fireH784 that consumesH398 to 1819AbaddonH11, And would 20uprootH8327 allH3605 my 21increaseH8393.

13“IfH518 I have 22despisedH3988 the claimH4941 of my maleH5650 or femaleH519 slavesH519H5650 When they filedH7378 a complaintH7379 againstH5973 me,14WhatH4100 then could I doH6213 whenH3588 GodH410 arisesH6965? And whenH3588 He callsH6485 me to accountH6485, whatH4100 will I answerH7725 Him?15Did not 23He who madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him, And the sameH259 oneH259 fashionH3559 us in the wombH990?

16“IfH518 I have keptH4513 24the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, Or have caused the eyesH5869 of 25the widowH490 to failH3615,17Or have 26eatenH398 my morselH6595 aloneH905, And 27the orphanH3490 has not 28sharedH398H4480 it18(But from my youthH5271 he grewH1431 up with me as with a fatherH1, And from 29infancyH517H990 I guidedH5148 her),19IfH518 I have seenH7200 anyone perishH6 30for lackH1097 of clothingH3830, Or that 31the needyH34 hadH369 noH369 coveringH3682,20IfH518 his loinsH2504 have not 32thankedH1288 me, And if he has not been warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532,21IfH518 I have liftedH5130 up my handH3027 againstH5921 33the orphanH3490, BecauseH3588 I sawH7200 34I had supportH5833 35in the gateH8179,22Let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the 36socketH7926, And my 37armH248 be brokenH7665 offH7665 38at the elbowH7070.23For 39calamityH343 from GodH410 is a terrorH6343 to me, And becauseH4480 of 40His 41majestyH7613 I canH3201 doH3201 nothingH3808.
