Job 31:1-40

I made
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
with mine eyes
<05869>_;
why then should I think
<0995> (8709)
upon a maid
<01330>_?
For what portion
<02506>
of God
<0433>
[is there] from above
<04605>_?
and [what] inheritance
<05159>
of the Almighty
<07706>
from on high
<04791>_?
[Is] not destruction
<0343>
to the wicked
<05767>_?
and a strange
<05235>
[punishment] to the workers
<06466> (8802)
of iniquity
<0205>_?
Doth not he see
<07200> (8799)
my ways
<01870>_,
and count
<05608> (8799)
all my steps
<06806>_?
If I have walked
<01980> (8804)
with vanity
<07723>_,
or if my foot
<07272>
hath hasted
<02363> (8799)
to deceit
<04820>_;
Let me be weighed
<08254> (8799)
in an even
<06664>
balance
<03976>_,
that God
<0433>
may know
<03045> (8799)
mine integrity
<08538>_.
{Let...: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
If my step
<0838>
hath turned out
<05186> (8799)
of the way
<01870>_,
and mine heart
<03820>
walked
<01980> (8804)
after
<0310>
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and if any blot
<03971>
hath cleaved
<01692> (8804)
to mine hands
<03709>_;
[Then] let me sow
<02232> (8799)_,
and let another
<0312>
eat
<0398> (8799)_;
yea, let my offspring
<06631>
be rooted out
<08327> (8792)_.
If mine heart
<03820>
have been deceived
<06601> (8738)
by a woman
<0802>_,
or [if] I have laid wait
<0693> (8804)
at my neighbour's
<07453>
door
<06607>_;
[Then] let my wife
<0802>
grind
<02912> (8799)
unto another
<0312>_,
and let others
<0312>
bow down
<03766> (8799)
upon her.
For this [is] an heinous crime
<02154>_;
yea, it [is] an iniquity
<05771>
[to be punished by] the judges
<06414>_.
For it [is] a fire
<0784>
[that] consumeth
<0398> (8799)
to destruction
<011>_,
and would root out
<08327> (8762)
all mine increase
<08393>_.
If I did despise
<03988> (8799)
the cause
<04941>
of my manservant
<05650>
or of my maidservant
<0519>_,
when they contended
<07379>
with me;
What then shall I do
<06213> (8799)
when God
<0410>
riseth up
<06965> (8799)_?
and when he visiteth
<06485> (8799)_,
what shall I answer
<07725> (8686)
him?
Did not he that made
<06213> (8802)
me in the womb
<0990>
make
<06213> (8804)
him? and did not one
<0259>
fashion
<03559> (8787)
us in the womb
<07358>_?
{did not one...: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
If I have withheld
<04513> (8799)
the poor
<01800>
from [their] desire
<02656>_,
or have caused the eyes
<05869>
of the widow
<0490>
to fail
<03615> (8762)_;
Or have eaten
<0398> (8799)
my morsel
<06595>
myself alone, and the fatherless
<03490>
hath not eaten
<0398> (8804)
thereof;
(For from my youth
<05271>
he was brought up
<01431> (8804)
with me, as [with] a father
<01>_,
and I have guided
<05148> (8686)
her from my mother's
<0517>
womb
<0990>;)
{her: that is, the widow}
If I have seen
<07200> (8799)
any perish
<06> (8802)
for want of clothing
<03830>_,
or any poor
<034>
without covering
<03682>_;
If his loins
<02504>
have not blessed
<01288> (8765)
me, and [if] he were [not] warmed
<02552> (8691)
with the fleece
<01488>
of my sheep
<03532>_;
If I have lifted up
<05130> (8689)
my hand
<03027>
against the fatherless
<03490>_,
when I saw
<07200> (8799)
my help
<05833>
in the gate
<08179>_:
[Then] let mine arm
<03802>
fall
<05307> (8799)
from my shoulder blade
<07929>_,
and mine arm
<0248>
be broken
<07665> (8735)
from the bone
<07070>_.
{bone: or, chanelbone}
For destruction
<0343>
[from] God
<0410>
[was] a terror
<06343>
to me, and by reason of his highness
<07613>
I could
<03201> (8799)
not endure.
If I have made
<07760> (8804)
gold
<02091>
my hope
<03689>_,
or have said
<0559> (8804)
to the fine gold
<03800>_,
[Thou art] my confidence
<04009>_;
If I rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
because my wealth
<02428>
[was] great
<07227>_,
and because mine hand
<03027>
had gotten
<04672> (8804)
much
<03524>_;
{gotten...: Heb. found much}
If I beheld
<07200> (8799)
the sun
<0216>
when it shined
<01984> (8686)_,
or the moon
<03394>
walking
<01980> (8802)
[in] brightness
<03368>_;
{sun: Heb. light} {in...: Heb. bright}
And my heart
<03820>
hath been secretly
<05643>
enticed
<06601> (8799)_,
or my mouth
<06310>
hath kissed
<05401> (8799)
my hand
<03027>_:
{my mouth...: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
This also [were] an iniquity
<05771>
[to be punished by] the judge
<06416>_:
for I should have denied
<03584> (8765)
the God
<0410>
[that is] above
<04605>_.
If I rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
at the destruction
<06365>
of him that hated
<08130> (8764)
me, or lifted up
<05782> (8712)
myself when evil
<07451>
found
<04672> (8804)
him:
Neither have I suffered
<05414> (8804)
my mouth
<02441>
to sin
<02398> (8800)
by wishing
<07592> (8800)
a curse
<0423>
to his soul
<05315>_.
{mouth: Heb. palate}
If the men
<04962>
of my tabernacle
<0168>
said
<0559> (8804)
not, Oh that we had
<05414> (8799)
of his flesh
<01320>_!
we cannot be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.
The stranger
<01616>
did not lodge
<03885> (8799)
in the street
<02351>_:
[but] I opened
<06605> (8799)
my doors
<01817>
to the traveller
<0734>_.
{traveller: or, way}
If I covered
<03680> (8765)
my transgressions
<06588>
as Adam
<0121>_,
by hiding
<02934> (8800)
mine iniquity
<05771>
in my bosom
<02243>_:
{as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
Did I fear
<06206> (8799)
a great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_,
or did the contempt
<0937>
of families
<04940>
terrify
<02865> (8686)
me, that I kept silence
<01826> (8799)_,
[and] went not out
<03318> (8799)
of the door
<06607>_?
Oh that
<05414> (8799)
one would hear
<08085> (8802)
me! behold, my desire
<08420>
[is, that] the Almighty
<07706>
would answer
<06030> (8799)
me, and [that] mine adversary
<0376> <07379>
had written
<03789> (8804)
a book
<05612>_.
{my...: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
Surely I would take
<05375> (8799)
it upon my shoulder
<07926>_,
[and] bind
<06029> (8799)
it [as] a crown
<05850>
to me.
I would declare
<05046> (8686)
unto him the number
<04557>
of my steps
<06806>_;
as a prince
<05057>
would I go near
<07126> (8762)
unto him.
If my land
<0127>
cry
<02199> (8799)
against me, or that the furrows
<08525>
likewise
<03162>
thereof complain
<01058> (8799)_;
{complain: Heb. weep}
If I have eaten
<0398> (8804)
the fruits
<03581>
thereof without money
<03701>_,
or have caused the owners
<01167>
thereof to lose
<05301> (8689)
their life
<05315>_:
{fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners...: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
Let thistles
<02336>
grow
<03318> (8799)
instead of wheat
<02406>_,
and cockle
<0890>
instead of barley
<08184>_.
The words
<01697>
of Job
<0347>
are ended
<08552> (8804)_.
{cockle: or, noisome weeds}
