Job, CHAPTER 31

1

I made a covenant with my eyes
not to gaze upon a virgin.

2

What portion comes from God above,
what heritage from the Almighty on high?

3

Is it not calamity for the unrighteous,
and woe for evildoers?

4

Does he not see my ways,
and number all my steps?

5

If I have walked in falsehood
and my foot has hastened to deceit,

6

Let God weigh me in the scales of justice;
thus will he know my innocence!

7

If my steps have turned out of the way,
and my heart has followed my eyes,
or any stain clings to my hands,

8

Then may I sow, but another eat,
and may my produce be rooted up!

9

If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door;

10

Then may my wife grind for another,
and may others kneel over her!

11

For that would be heinous,
a crime to be condemned,

12

A fire that would consume down to Abaddon
till it uprooted all my crops.

13

Had I refused justice to my manservant
or to my maidservant, when they had a complaint against me,

14

What then should I do when God rises up?
What could I answer when he demands an account?

15

Did not he who made me in the belly make him?
Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

16

If I have denied anything that the poor desired,
or allowed the eyes of the widow to languish

17

While I ate my portion alone,
with no share in it for the fatherless,

18

Though like a father he has reared me from my youth,
guiding me even from my mother’s womb―

19

If I have seen a wanderer without clothing,
or a poor man without covering,

20

Whose limbs have not blessed me
when warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21

If I have raised my hand against the innocent
because I saw that I had supporters at the gate―

22

Then may my arm fall from the shoulder,
my forearm be broken at the elbow!

23

For I dread calamity from God,
and his majesty will overpower me.

24

Had I put my trust in gold
or called fine gold my security;

25

Or had I rejoiced that my wealth was great,
or that my hand had acquired abundance―

26

Had I looked upon the light as it shone,
or the moon in the splendor of its progress,

27

And had my heart been secretly enticed
to blow them a kiss with my hand,

28

This too would be a crime for condemnation,
for I should have denied God above.

29

Had I rejoiced at the destruction of my enemy
or exulted when evil came upon him,

30

Even though I had not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against his life―

31

Had not the men of my tent exclaimed,
“Who has not been filled with his meat!”

32

No stranger lodged in the street,
for I opened my door to wayfarers―

33

Had I, all too human, hidden my sins
and buried my guilt in my bosom

34

Because I feared the great multitude
and the scorn of the clans terrified me―
then I should have remained silent, and not come out of doors!

35

Oh, that I had one to hear my case:
here is my signature: let the Almighty answer me!
Let my accuser write out his indictment!

36

Surely, I should wear it on my shoulder
or put it on me like a diadem;

37

Of all my steps I should give him an account;
like a prince I should present myself before him.

38

If my land has cried out against me
till its furrows wept together;

39

If I have eaten its strength without payment
and grieved the hearts of its tenants;

40

Then let the thorns grow instead of wheat
and stinkweed instead of barley!
The words of Job are ended.
