Job 31:5-17

5“If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has hurried to deceit,

6then let Him weigh me with honest scales, then God will know my integrity.

7If my step has strayed from the way, if my heart has walked after my eyes, or if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

8then let me sow and another eat, and let my crops be uprooted.

9If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10then let my wife grind for another and let others sleep with her.

11For that would be a shameful act, an iniquity to be judged.

12For it is a fire that devours to destruction, and uproots all my harvest.

13“If I have denied justice to my male or female servant when they disputed with me,

14then what could I do when God rises up; when He visits, how will I answer Him?

15Did not He who made me in the womb, make him? Did not the same one form us in the womb?

16“If I withheld the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow to fail,

17if I ate my morsel of bread myself, without letting an orphan eat of it
