Job 31

1I made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with mine eyes^H5869; How then should I look^H995 upon a virgin^H1330? 2For what is the portion^H2506 from God^H433 above^H4605, And the heritage^H5159 from the Almighty^H7706 on high^H4791? 3Is it not calamity^H343 to the unrighteous^H5767, And disaster^H5235 to the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205? 4Doth not he see^H7200 my ways^H1870, And number^H5608 all my steps^H6806? 5If I have walked^H1980 with falsehood^H7723, And my foot^H7272 hath hasted^H2363 to deceit^H4820 6(Let me be weighed^H8254 in an even^H6664 balance^H3976, That God^H433 may know^H3045 mine integrity^H8538); 7If my step^H838 hath turned out^H5186 of the way^H1870, And my heart^H3820 walked^H1980 after^H310 mine eyes^H5869, And if any spot^H3971 hath cleaved^H1692 to my hands^H3709: 8Then let me sow^H2232, and let another^H312 eat^H398; Yea, let the produce^H6631 of my field be rooted out^H8327. 9If my heart^H3820 hath been enticed^H6601 unto a woman^H802, And I have laid wait^H693 at my neighbor's^H7453 door^H6607; 10Then let my wife^H802 grind^H2912 unto another^H312, And let others^H312 bow down^H3766 upon her. 11For that were a heinous crime^H2154; Yea, it were an iniquity^H5771 to be punished by the judges^H6414: 12For it is a fire^H784 that consumeth^H398 unto Destruction^H11, And would root out^H8327 all mine increase^H8393. 13If I have despised^H3988 the cause^H4941 of my man-servant^H5650 or of my maid-servant^H519, When they contended^H7379 with me; 14What then shall I do^H6213 when God^H410 riseth up^H6965? And when he visiteth^H6485, what shall I answer^H7725 him? 15Did not he that made^H6213 me in the womb^H990 make^H6213 him? And did not one^H259 fashion^H3559 us in the womb^H7358? 16If I have withheld^H4513 the poor^H1800 from their desire^H2656, Or have caused the eyes^H5869 of the widow^H490 to fail^H3615, 17Or have eaten^H398 my morsel^H6595 alone, And the fatherless^H3490 hath not eaten^H398 thereof 18(Nay, from my youth^H5271 he grew up^H1431 with me as with a father^H1, And her have I guided^H5148 from my mother's^H517 womb^H990); 19If I have seen^H7200 any perish^H6 for want of clothing^H3830, Or that the needy^H34 had no covering^H3682; 20If his loins^H2504 have not blessed^H1288 me, And if he hath not been warmed^H2552 with the fleece^H1488 of my sheep^H3532; 21If I have lifted up^H5130 my hand^H3027 against the fatherless^H3490, Because I saw^H7200 my help^H5833 in the gate^H8179: 22Then let my shoulder fall^H5307 from the shoulder-blade^H7929, And mine arm^H248 be broken^H7665 from the bone^H7070. 23For calamity^H343 from God^H410 is a terror^H6343 to me, And by reason of his majesty^H7613 I can^H3201 do nothing. 24If I have made^H7760 gold^H2091 my hope^H3689, And have said^H559 to the fine gold^H3800, Thou art my confidence^H4009; 25If I have rejoiced^H8055 because my wealth^H2428 was great^H7227, And because my hand^H3027 had gotten^H4672 much^H3524; 26If I have beheld^H7200 the sun^H216 when it shined^H1984, Or the moon^H3394 walking^H1980 in brightness^H3368, 27And my heart^H3820 hath been secretly^H5643 enticed^H6601, And my mouth^H6310 hath kissed^H5401 my hand^H3027: 28This also were an iniquity^H5771 to be punished by the judges^H6416; For I should have denied^H3584 the God^H410 that is above^H4605. 29If I have rejoiced^H8055 at the destruction^H6365 of him that hated^H8130 me, Or lifted up^H5782 myself when evil^H7451 found^H4672 him; 30(Yea, I have not suffered^H5414 my mouth^H2441 to sin^H2398 By asking^H7592 his life^H5315 with a curse^H423); 31If the men^H4962 of my tent^H168 have not said^H559, Who can find^H5414 one that hath not been filled^H7646 with his meat^H1320? 32(The sojourner^H1616 hath not lodged^H3885 in the street^H2351; But I have opened^H6605 my doors^H1817 to the traveller^H734); 33If like Adam^H121 I have covered^H3680 my transgressions^H6588, By hiding^H2934 mine iniquity^H5771 in my bosom^H2243, 34Because I feared^H6206 the great^H7227 multitude^H1995, And the contempt^H937 of families^H4940 terrified^H2865 me, So that I kept silence^H1826, and went not out^H3318 of the door^H6607— 35Oh that^H5414 I had one to hear^H8085 me! (Lo, here is my signature^H8420, let the Almighty^H7706 answer^H6030 me); And that I had the indictment^H5612 which mine adversary^H376 hath written^H3789! 36Surely I would carry^H5375 it upon my shoulder^H7926; I would bind^H6029 it unto me as a crown^H5850: 37I would declare^H5046 unto him the number^H4557 of my steps^H6806; As a prince^H5057 would I go near^H7126 unto him. 38If my land^H127 crieth^H2199 out against me, And^H3162 the furrows^H8525 thereof weep^H1058 together; 39If I have eaten^H398 the fruits^H3581 thereof without money^H3701, Or have caused the owners^H1167 thereof to lose^H5301 their life^H5315: 40Let thistles^H2336 grow^H3318 instead of wheat^H2406, And cockle^H890 instead of barley^H8184. The words^H1697 of Job^H347 are ended^H8552.
