Revised Version 1895
Job 31:5-17
5If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6(Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity;)
7If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any spot hath cleaved to mine hands:
8Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
9If mine heart have been enticed unto a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door:
10Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11For that were an heinous crime; yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
12For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me:
14What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17Or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
