Job 31:19-34
19If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any poorH34 without coveringH3682; 20If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he hath not been warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532; 21If I have lifted upH5130 my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490, when I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179: 22Then let my armH3802 fallH5307 from my shoulder bladeH7929, and my armH248 be brokenH7665 from the boneH7070.1 23For destructionH343 from GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to me, and by reason of his highnessH7613 I couldH3201 not endure.
24If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hopeH3689, or have saidH559 to the fine goldH3800, Thou art my confidenceH4009; 25If I have rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and because my handH3027 had gainedH4672 muchH3524;2 26If I have beheldH7200 the sunH216 when it shinedH1984, or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightnessH3368;34 27And my heartH3820 hath been secretlyH5643 enticedH6601, or my mouthH6310 hath kissedH5401 my handH3027:5 28This also were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgeH6416: for I should have deniedH3584 the GodH410 that is aboveH4605. 29If I have rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH6365 of him that hatedH8130 me, or have lifted upH5782 myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him: 30Neither have I allowedH5414 my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by wishingH7592 a curseH423 to his soulH5315.6 31If the menH4962 of my tentH168 have not saidH559, O that we hadH5414 of his fleshH1320! we cannot be satisfiedH7646. 32The strangerH1616 did not lodgeH3885 in the streetH2351: but I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the travellerH734.7
33If I have coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, by hidingH2934 my iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243:8 34Did I fearH6206 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, or did the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifyH2865 me, that I kept silenceH1826, and went not outH3318 of the doorH6607?
