Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 031
031:001
For what portion of God is there from above? and what
inheritance of the Almighty from on high
031:002
Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to
the workers of iniquity
031:003
Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps
031:004
If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to
deceit
031:005
Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine
integrity
031:006
If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked
after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands
031:007
Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be
rooted out
031:008
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid
wait at my neighbour's door
031:009
Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down
upon her
031:010
For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be
punished by the judges
031:011
For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root
out all mine increase
031:012
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my
maidservant, when they contended with me
031:013
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth,
what shall I answer him
031:014
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one
fashion us in the womb
031:015
If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused
the eyes of the widow to fail
031:016
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath
not eaten thereof
031:017
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a
father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;
031:018
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor
without covering
031:019
If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed
with the fleece of my sheep
031:020
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw
my help in the gate
031:021
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be
broken from the bone
031:022
For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of
his highness I could not endure
031:023
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold,
Thou art my confidence
031:024
If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine
hand had gotten much
031:025
If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in
brightness
031:026
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath
kissed my hand
031:027
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I
should have denied the God that is above
031:028
If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or
lifted up myself when evil found him
031:029
Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to
his soul
031:030
If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his
flesh! we cannot be satisfied
031:031
The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my
doors to the traveller
031:032
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine
iniquity in my bosom
031:033
Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families
terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door
031:034
Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the
Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written
a book
031:035
Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a
crown to me
031:036
I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince
would I go near unto him
031:037
If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise
thereof complain
031:038
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have
caused the owners thereof to lose their life
031:039
Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of
barley. The words of Job are ended
