Job 31 (kjv)

I made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with mine eyes^H5869; why then should I think^H995 upon a maid^H1330?²For what portion^H2506 of God^H433 is there from above^H4605? and what inheritance^H5159 of the Almighty^H7706 from on high^H4791?³Is not destruction^H343 to the wicked^H5767? and a strange^H5235 punishment to the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H205?⁴Doth not he see^H7200 my ways^H1870, and count^H5608 all my steps^H6806?⁵If I have walked^H1980 with vanity^H7723, or if my foot^H7272 hath hasted^H2363 to deceit^H4820;⁶Let 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 mine heart^H3820 walked^H1980 after^H310 mine eyes^H5869, and if any blot^H3971 hath cleaved^H1692 to mine hands^H3709;⁸Then let me sow^H2232, and let another^H312 eat^H398; yea, let my offspring^H6631 be rooted out^H8327.⁹If mine heart^H3820 have been deceived^H6601 by a woman^H802, or if I have laid wait^H693 at my neighbour's^H7453 door^H6607;¹⁰Then let my wife^H802 grind^H2912 unto another^H312, and let others^H312 bow down^H3766 upon her.¹¹For this is an heinous crime^H2154; yea, it is an iniquity^H5771 to be punished by the judges^H6414.¹²For it is a fire^H784 that consumeth^H398 to destruction^H11, and would root out^H8327 all mine increase^H8393.¹³If I did despise^H3988 the cause^H4941 of my manservant^H5650 or of my maidservant^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 myself alone, and the fatherless^H3490 hath not eaten^H398 thereof;¹⁸(For from my youth^H5271 he was brought up^H1431 with me, as with a father^H1, and I have guided^H5148 her from my mother's^H517 womb^H990;)¹⁹If I have seen^H7200 any perish^H6 for want of clothing^H3830, or any poor^H34 without covering^H3682;²⁰If his loins^H2504 have not blessed^H1288 me, and if he were not warmed^H2552 with the fleece^H1488 of my sheep^H3532;²¹If I have lifted up^H5130 my hand^H3027 against the fatherless^H3490, when I saw^H7200 my help^H5833 in the gate^H8179:²²Then let mine arm^H3802 fall^H5307 from my shoulder blade^H7929, and mine arm^H248 be broken^H7665 from the bone^H7070.²³For destruction^H343 from God^H410 was a terror^H6343 to me, and by reason of his highness^H7613 I could^H3201 not endure.²⁴If I have made^H7760 gold^H2091 my hope^H3689, or have said^H559 to the fine gold^H3800, Thou art my confidence^H4009;²⁵If I rejoiced^H8055 because my wealth^H2428 was great^H7227, and because mine hand^H3027 had gotten^H4672 much^H3524;²⁶If I 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, or my mouth^H6310 hath kissed^H5401 my hand^H3027:²⁸This also were an iniquity^H5771 to be punished by the judge^H6416: for I should have denied^H3584 the God^H410 that is above^H4605.²⁹If I rejoiced^H8055 at the destruction^H6365 of him that hated^H8130 me, or lifted up^H5782 myself when evil^H7451 found^H4672 him:³⁰Neither have I suffered^H5414 my mouth^H2441 to sin^H2398 by wishing^H7592 a curse^H423 to his soul^H5315.³¹If the men^H4962 of my tabernacle^H168 said^H559 not, Oh that we had^H5414 of his flesh^H1320! we cannot be satisfied^H7646.³²The stranger^H1616 did not lodge^H3885 in the street^H2351: but I opened^H6605 my doors^H1817 to the traveller^H734.³³If I covered^H3680 my transgressions^H6588 as Adam^H121, by hiding^H2934 mine iniquity^H5771 in my bosom^H2243:³⁴Did I fear^H6206 a great^H7227 multitude^H1995, or did the contempt^H937 of families^H4940 terrify^H2865 me, that I kept silence^H1826, and went not out^H3318 of the door^H6607?³⁵Oh that^H5414 one would hear^H8085 me! behold, my desire^H8420 is, that the Almighty^H7706 would answer^H6030 me, and that mine adversary^{H376 H7379} had written^H3789 a book^H5612.³⁶Surely I would take^H5375 it upon my shoulder^H7926, and bind^H6029 it as a crown^H5850 to me.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 cry^H2199 against me, or that the furrows^H8525 likewise^H3162 thereof complain^H1058;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.
