Job 31:5-17

5IfH518 I have walkedH1980 with vanityH7723, and my footH7272 hath hasted to deceitH4820;

6(Let meH3045 be weighedH8254 in an even balanceH3976, that GodH433 may knowH3045 mine integrityH8538;)

7IfH518 my stepH838 hath turnedH5186 outH4480 of the wayH1870, and mineH4480 heartH3820 walkedH1980 afterH310 mineH4480 eyesH5869, and ifH518 anyH4480 spotH3971 hath cleaved to mineH4480 handsH3709:

8Then let meH398 sowH2232, and let anotherH312 eatH398; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

9IfH518 mine heartH3820 have been enticedH6601 unto a womanH802, and I have laid waitH693 at my neighbour’s doorH6607:

10Then let my wifeH802 grindH2912 unto anotherH312, and let othersH312 bowH3766 downH3766 uponH5921 herH5921.

11For that were an heinousH2154 crimeH2154; yeaH3588, it were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgesH6414:

12For it is a fireH784 that consumeth unto DestructionH11, and would rootH8327 outH3605 allH3605 mine increaseH8393.

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;
