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
