New Living Translation
Job 31:5-17
5“Have I lied to anyone or deceived anyone?
6Let God weigh me on the scales of justice, for he knows my integrity.
7If I have strayed from his pathway, or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen, or if I am guilty of any other sin,
8then let someone else eat the crops I have planted. Let all that I have planted be uprooted.
9“If my heart has been seduced by a woman, or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife,
10then let my wife serve another man; let other men sleep with her.
11For lust is a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished.
12It is a fire that burns all the way to hell. It would wipe out everything I own.
13“If I have been unfair to my male or female servants when they brought their complaints to me,
14how could I face God? What could I say when he questioned me?
15For God created both me and my servants. He created us both in the womb.
16“Have I refused to help the poor, or crushed the hopes of widows?
17Have I been stingy with my food and refused to share it with orphans?
