 | 31:1 | I made3772 a covenant1285 with mine eyes;5869 why then should I think995 upon a maid?1330 |
| 31:2 | For what portion2506 of Eloah433 is there from above?4605 and what inheritance5159 of the Almighty7706 from on high?4791 |
| 31:3 | Is not destruction343 to the wicked?5767 and a strange5235 punishment to the workers6466 of iniquity?205 |
| 31:4 | Doth not he see7200 my ways,1870 and count5608 all my steps?6806 |
| 31:5 | If I have walked1980 with vanity,7723 or if my foot7272 hath hasted2363 to deceit;4820 |
| 31:6 | Let me be weighed8254 in an even6664 balance,3976 that Eloah433 may know3045 mine integrity.8538 |
| 31:7 | If my step838 hath turned5186 out of the way,1870 and mine heart3820 walked1980 after310 mine eyes,5869 and if any blot3971 hath cleaved1692 to mine hands;3709 |
| 31:8 | Then let me sow,2232 and let another312 eat;398 yea, let my offspring6631 be rooted out.8327 |
| 31:9 | If mine heart3820 have been deceived6601 by a woman,802 or if I have laid wait693 at my neighbour's7453 door;6607 |
| 31:10 | Then let my wife802 grind2912 unto another,312 and let others312 bow down3766 upon her. |
| 31:11 | For this is an heinous crime;2154 yea, it is an iniquity5771 to be punished by the judges.6414 |
| 31:12 | For it is a fire784 that consumeth398 to destruction,11 and would root out8327 all mine increase.8393 |
| 31:13 | If I did despise3988 the cause4941 of my manservant5650 or of my maidservant,519 when they contended7379 with me; |
| 31:14 | What then shall I do6213 when El410 riseth up?6965 and when he visiteth,6485 what shall I answer7725 him? |
| 31:15 | Did not he that made6213 me in the womb990 make6213 him? and did not one259 fashion3559 us in the womb?7358 |
| 31:16 | If I have withheld4513 the poor1800 from their desire,2656 or have caused the eyes5869 of the widow490 to fail;3615 |
| 31:17 | Or have eaten398 my morsel6595 myself alone, and the fatherless3490 hath not eaten398 thereof; |
| 31:18 | (For from my youth5271 he was brought up1431 with me, as with a father,1 and I have guided5148 her from my mother's517 womb;)990 |
| 31:19 | If I have seen7200 any perish6 for want of clothing,3830 or any poor34 without covering;3682 |
| 31:20 | If his loins2504 have not blessed1288 me, and if he were not warmed2552 with the fleece1488 of my sheep;3532 |
| 31:21 | If I have lifted up5130 my hand3027 against the fatherless,3490 when I saw7200 my help5833 in the gate:8179 |
| 31:22 | Then let mine arm3802 fall5307 from my shoulder blade,7929 and mine arm248 be broken7665 from the bone.7070 |
| 31:23 | For destruction343 from El410 was a terror6343 to me, and by reason of his highness7613 I could3201 not endure. |
| 31:24 | If I have made7760 gold2091 my hope,3689 or have said559 to the fine gold,3800 Thou art my confidence;4009 |
| 31:25 | If I rejoiced8055 because my wealth2428 was great,7227 and because mine hand3027 had gotten4672 much;3524 |
| 31:26 | If I beheld7200 the sun216 when it shined,1984 or the moon3394 walking1980 in brightness;3368 |
| 31:27 | And my heart3820 hath been secretly5643 enticed,6601 or my mouth6310 hath kissed5401 my hand:3027 |
| 31:28 | This also were an iniquity5771 to be punished by the judge:6416 for I should have denied3584 the El410 that is above.4605 |
| 31:29 | If I rejoiced8055 at the destruction6365 of him that hated8130 me, or lifted up5782 myself when evil7451 found4672 him: |
| 31:30 | Neither have I suffered5414 my mouth2441 to sin2398 by wishing7592 a curse423 to his soul.5315 |
| 31:31 | If the men4962 of my tabernacle168 said559 not, Oh that5414 we had of his flesh!1320 we cannot be satisfied.7646 |
| 31:32 | The stranger1616 did not lodge3885 in the street:2351 but I opened6605 my doors1817 to the traveller.734 |
| 31:33 | If I covered3680 my transgressions6588 as Adam,120 by hiding2934 mine iniquity5771 in my bosom:2243 |
| 31:34 | Did I fear6206 a great7227 multitude,1995 or did the contempt937 of families4940 terrify2865 me, that I kept silence,1826 and went not out3318 of the door?6607 |
| 31:35 | Oh that5414 one would hear8085 me! behold, my desire8420 is, that the Almighty7706 would answer6030 me, and that mine adversary376 had written3789 a book.5612 |
| 31:36 | Surely I would take5375 it upon my shoulder,7926 and bind6029 it as a crown5850 to me. |
| 31:37 | I would declare5046 unto him the number4557 of my steps;6806 as a prince5057 would I go near7126 unto him. |
| 31:38 | If my land127 cry2199 against me, or that the furrows8525 likewise3162 thereof complain;1058 |
| 31:39 | If I have eaten398 the fruits3581 thereof without money,3701 or have caused the owners1167 thereof to lose5301 their life:5315 |
| 31:40 | Let thistles2336 grow3318 instead of wheat,2406 and cockle890 instead of barley.8184 The words1697 of Job347 are ended.8552 |
