Job 31 1 - I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 2 - For what portion of God [is there] from above? and [what] inheritance of the Almighty from on high? 3 - [Is] not destruction to the wicked? and a strange [punishment] to the workers of iniquity? 4 - Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? 5 - If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; 6 - Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity. 7 - If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; 8 - [Then] let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. 9 - If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or [if] I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 10 - [Then] let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 11 - For this [is] an heinous crime; yea, it [is] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judges. 12 - For it [is] a fire [that] consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. 13 - If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; 14 - What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 15 - Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? 16 - If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 17 - Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; 18 - (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;) 19 - If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; 20 - If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 21 - If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: 22 - [Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. 23 - For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. 24 - If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence; 25 - If I rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because mine hand had gotten much; 26 - If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness; 27 - And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: 28 - This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge: for I should have denied the God [that is] above. 29 - If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him: 30 - Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul. 31 - If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied. 32 - The stranger did not lodge in the street: [but] I opened my doors to the traveller. 33 - If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: 34 - Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door? 35 - Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire [is, that] the Almighty would answer me, and [that] mine adversary had written a book. 36 - Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, [and] bind it [as] a crown to me. 37 - I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. 38 - If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; 39 - If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: 40 - Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley.
