Job 31

Job Asserts His Integrity

1

"I have madeh3772 a covenanth1285 with my  aeyesh5869; Howh4100 then could I gazeh995 at a virginh1330?

2

"And whath4100 is  athe portionh2506 of Godh433 from aboveh4605 Or the heritageh5159 of the Almightyh7706b from on highh4791?

3

"Is it not  acalamityh343 to the unjusth5767a And disasterh5235b to  bthose who workh6466 iniquityh205?

4

"Does He not  aseeh7200 my waysh1870 And  bnumberh5608 allh3605 my stepsh6806?

5

"Ifh518 I have  awalkedh1980 with falsehoodh7723, And my footh7272 has hastenedh2363a afterh5921 deceith4820,

6

Let Him  aweighh8254 me with  1accurateh6664 scalesh3976, And let Godh433 knowh3045  bmy integrityh8538.

7

"Ifh518 my steph838 has  aturnedh5186 from the wayh1870, Or my hearth3820  1followedh310h1980 my eyesh5869, Or if any  bspoth3971 has stuckh1692 to my handsh3709,

8

Let me  asowh2232 and anotherh312 eath398, And let my  1 bcropsh6631 be uprootedh8327.

9

"Ifh518 my hearth3820 has been  aenticedh6601b by a womanh802, Or I have lurkedh693 at my neighbor'sh7453 doorwayh6607,

10

May my wifeh802  agrindh2912 for anotherh312, And let  bothersh312  1kneelh3766 downh3766 overh5921 her.

11

"For that would be a  alustfulh2154 crimeh2154; Moreover, it would be  ban iniquityh5771 punishable by judgesh6414.

12

"For it would be  afireh784 that consumesh398 to  1 bAbaddonh11, And would  cuprooth8327 allh3605 my  2increaseh8393.

13

"Ifh518 I have  adespisedh3988a the claimh4941 of my maleh5650 or femaleh519 slavesh519h5650 When they filedh7378 a complainth7379 againsth5973 me,

14

Whath4100 then could I doh6213a whenh3588 Godh410 arisesh6965? And whenh3588 He callsh6485 me to accounth6485, whath4100 will I answerh7725 Him?

15

"Did not  aHe who madeh6213a me in the wombh990 makeh6213a him, And the sameh259 oneh259 fashionh3559 us in the wombh990?

16

"Ifh518 I have kepth4513  athe poorh1800b from their desireh2656, Or have caused the eyesh5869 of  bthe widowh490 to failh3615,

17

Or have  aeatenh398 my morselh6595 aloneh905, And  bthe orphanh3490 has not  1sharedh398h4480 it

18

(But from my youthh5271 he grewh1431 up with me as with a fatherh1, And from  1infancyh517h990 I guidedh5148 her),

19

Ifh518 I have seenh7200 anyone perishh6  afor lackh1097 of clothingh3830, Or that  bthe needyh34 hadh369 noh369 coveringh3682,

20

Ifh518 his loinsh2504 have not  1thankedh1288 me, And if he has not been warmedh2552 with the fleeceh1488 of my sheeph3532,

21

Ifh518 I have liftedh5130 up my handh3027 againsth5921  athe orphanh3490, Becauseh3588 I sawh7200  1I had supporth5833  bin the gateh8179,

22

Let my shoulderh3802 fallh5307 from the  1socketh7926, And my  aarmh248 be brokenh7665 offh7665  2at the elbowh7070.

23

"For  acalamityh343 from Godh410 is a terrorh6343 to me, And becauseh4480 of  bHis  1majestyh7613 I canh3201 doh3201 nothingh3808.

24

"Ifh518 I have puth7760 my confidenceh3689 in  agoldh2091, And calledh559 fineh3800 goldh3800 my trusth4009,

25

Ifh518 I have  agloatedh8055 becauseh3588 my wealthh2428 was greath7227a, And becauseh3588 my handh3027 had securedh4672 so muchh3524;

26

Ifh518 I have  alookedh7200 at the  1sunh216 whenh3588 it shoneh1984a Or the moonh3394 goingh1980 in splendorh3368,

27

And my hearth3820 becameh6601b secretlyh5643a enticedh6601b, And my handh3027  1threwh5401a a kissh5401a from my mouthh6310,

28

That tooh1571 would have been  aan iniquityh5771 calling for  1judgmenth6416, For I would have  bdeniedh3584 Godh410 aboveh4480h4605.

29

"Have I  arejoicedh8055 at the extinctionh6365 of my enemyh8130, Or  1exultedh5782 whenh3588 evilh7451b befellh4672 him?

30

1Noh3808,  aI have not  2allowedh5414 my mouthh2441 to sinh2398 By askingh7592 for his lifeh5315 in  ba curseh423.

31

"Have the menh4962 of my tenth168 not saidh559, `Whoh4310 can  1findh5414 one who has not been  asatisfiedh7646 with his meath1320'?

32

"The alienh1616 has not lodgedh3885a outsideh2351, For I have openedh6605a my doorsh1817 to the  1travelerh734.

33

"Have I  acoveredh3680 my transgressionsh6588 like  1Adamh121, By hidingh2934 my iniquityh5771 in my bosomh2243,

34

Becauseh3588 I  afearedh6206 the greath7227a multitudeh1995, And the contempth937 of familiesh4940 terrifiedh2865 me, And kepth1826a silenth1826a and did not goh3318 out of doorsh6607?

35

"Ohh4310h5414 that I hadh5414 one to hearh8085 me! Beholdh2005, hereh2005 is my  1signatureh8420a;  aLet the Almightyh7706b answerh6030a me! And the indictmenth5612 which my  badversaryh7379 has writtenh3789,

36

Surelyh518h3808 I would carryh5375 it on my shoulderh7926, I would bindh6029 it to myself like a crownh5850.

37

"I would declareh5608 to Him  athe numberh4557 of my stepsh6806; Likeh3644  ba princeh5057 I would approachh7126 Him.

38

"Ifh518 my  alandh127 criesh2199 out againsth5921 me, And its furrowsh8525 weeph1058 togetherh3162;

39

Ifh518 I have  aeatenh398 its  1fruith3581b withouth1097 moneyh3701, Or have  bcaused  2its ownersh1167 to loseh5301 their livesh5315,

40

Let  abriarsh2336  1growh3318 insteadh8478 of wheath2406, And stinkweedh890 insteadh8478 of barleyh8184." The wordsh1697 of Jobh347 are endedh8552.
