Job 31:5-17

5If I have walkedH1980 with vanityH7723, or if my footH7272 hath hastedH2363 to deceitH4820; 6Let me be weighedH8254 in an evenH6664 balanceH3976, that GodH433 may knowH3045 my integrityH8538.1 7If my stepH838 hath turned outH5186 of the wayH1870, and my heartH3820 walkedH1980 afterH310 my eyesH5869, and if any blotH3971 hath cleavedH1692 to my handsH3709; 8Then let me sowH2232, and let anotherH312 eatH398; yea, let my offspringH6631 be rooted outH8327.

9If my heartH3820 hath been deceivedH6601 by a womanH802, or if I have laid waitH693 at my neighbour’sH7453 doorH6607; 10Then let my wifeH802 grindH2912 to anotherH312, and let othersH312 bow downH3766 upon her. 11For this is an heinous crimeH2154; yea, it is an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgesH6414. 12For it is a fireH784 that consumethH398 to destructionH11, and would root outH8327 all my increaseH8393. 13If I despisedH3988 the causeH4941 of my maleH5650 or female servantH519, when they contendedH7379 with me; 14What then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visitethH6485, what shall I answerH7725 him? 15Did not he that madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and did not oneH259 fashionH3559 us in the wombH7358?2

16If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615; 17Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 myself alone, and the fatherlessH3490 hath not eatenH398 of it;
