Job 31:5-23

5“If I have walked with falsehood, Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,

6Let me be weighed on honest scales, That God may know my integrity.

7If my step has turned from the way, Or my heart walked after my eyes, Or if any spot adheres to my hands,

8Then let me sow, and another eat; Yes, let my harvest be rooted out.

9“If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10Then let my wife grind for another, And let others bow down over her.

11For that would be wickedness; Yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.

12For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction, And would root out all my increase.

13“If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant When they complained against me,

14What then shall I do when God rises up? When He punishes, how shall I answer Him?

15Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

16“If I have kept the poor from their desire, Or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

17Or eaten my morsel by myself, So that the fatherless could not eat of it

18(But from my youth I reared him as a father, And from my mother’s womb I guided the widow);

19If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or any poor man without covering;

20If his heart has not blessed me, And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21If I have raised my hand against the fatherless, When I saw I had help in the gate;

22Then let my arm fall from my shoulder, Let my arm be torn from the socket.

23For destruction from God is a terror to me, And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.
