Job 31:13-40

13IfH518 I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservant or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7378 with meH5978: 14WhatH4100 then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visiteth, whatH4100 shall I answerH7725 him? 15DidH6213 notH3808 he that madeH6213 meH3808 in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and didH6213 notH3808 one fashionH3559 usH6213 in the wombH990? 16IfH518 I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615; 17Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 aloneH905, and the fatherlessH3490 hath notH3808 eatenH398 thereof; 18(Nay, from my youthH5271 he grewH1431 upH1431 with meH990 as with a fatherH1, and I have been herH3588 guideH5148 from my mother’sH517 wombH990;) 19IfH518 I have seenH7200 anyH369 perishH6 for wantH1097 of clothingH3830, or that the needyH34 had noH369 coveringH3682; 20IfH518 his loinsH2504 have notH3808 blessedH1288 meH1288, and ifH518 he were notH3808 warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532; 21IfH518 I have liftedH5130 upH7200 my handH3027 againstH5921 the fatherlessH3490, becauseH3588 I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179: 22Then let my shoulderH3802 fallH5307 from the shoulderH3802 blade, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the bone. 23For calamityH343 from GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to meH413, and by reason of his excellency I couldH3201 doH3201 nothingH3808. 24IfH518 I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hope, and have saidH559 to the fineH3800 goldH2091, Thou art my confidenceH4009; 25IfH518 I rejoicedH8055 becauseH3588 my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and becauseH3588 mine handH3027 had gotten muchH3027; 26IfH518 I beheld the sunH216 when it shined, or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightness; 27And my heartH3820 hath been secretly enticedH6601, and my mouthH6310 hath kissedH5401 my handH3027: 28This also were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judges: for I should have liedH3584 to GodH410 that is aboveH4605. 29IfH518 I rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH7451 of him that hatedH8130 meH8130, or liftedH5782 upH5782 myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him; 30(Yea, I suffered notH3808 my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by askingH7592 his lifeH5315 with a curseH423;) 31IfH518 the menH4962 of my tentH168 saidH559 notH3808, Who canH4310 findH5414 one that hath notH3808 been satisfiedH7646 with his fleshH1320? 32The strangerH1616 didH3808 notH3808 lodge in the streetH2351; but I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the traveller; 33IfH518 like AdamH121 I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588, by hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243; 34BecauseH3588 I fearedH6206 the greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifiedH2865 meH3318, soH3808 that I kept silence, and wentH3318 notH3808 outH3318 of the doorH6607— 35OhH4310 that I had one to hearH8085 meH5414! (loH2005, hereH2005 is my signature, letH5414 the AlmightyH7706 answerH6030 meH5414;) and that I had the indictmentH5612 whichH4310 mine adversaryH7379 hath writtenH3789! 36SurelyH518 I would carryH5375 it uponH5921 my shoulderH7926; I would bindH6029 it unto meH5921 as a crownH5850. 37I would declareH5046 unto him the numberH4557 of my stepsH6806; as a princeH5057 would I goH7126 nearH7126 unto him. 38IfH518 my landH127 cryH2199 outH2199 againstH5921 meH5921, and the furrowsH8525 thereof weepH1058 togetherH3162; 39IfH518 I have eatenH398 the fruits thereof withoutH1097 moneyH3701, or have caused the ownersH1167 thereof to loseH5301 their lifeH5315: 40Let thistlesH2336 growH3318 insteadH8478 of wheatH2406, and cockle insteadH8478 of barleyH8184. The wordsH1697 of JobH347 are endedH8552.
