Job 31

how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?

and the heritage from the Almighty on high?

and disaster to the workers of iniquity?

and count all my steps?

and my foot has hurried to deceit

that God may know my integrity);

if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,

and let others sleep with her.

Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;

and would root out all my increase.

when they contended with me,

When he visits, what will I answer him?

Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?

or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

and the fatherless has not eaten of it

I have guided her from my mother’s womb);

or that the needy had no covering;

if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;

because I saw my help in the gate,

and my arm be broken from the bone.

Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.

and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’

and because my hand had gotten much;

or the moon moving in splendor,

and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

for I should have denied the God who is above.

or lifted up myself when evil found him

by asking his life with a curse);

‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’

but I have opened my doors to the traveler);

by hiding my iniquity in my heart,

so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—

Let the accuser write my indictment!

and I would bind it to me as a crown.

as a prince would I go near to him.

and its furrows weep together;

or have caused its owners to lose their life,

The words of Job are ended.
