JOB

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