Job 31:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.
2 For what is man's lot from God above, his heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Is it not ruin for the wicked, disaster for those who do wrong?
4 Does he not see my ways and count my every step?
5 "If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has hurried after deceit--
6 let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless--
7 if my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled,
8 then may others eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.
9 "If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbour's door,
10 then may my wife grind another man's grain, and may other men sleep with her.
11 For that would have been shameful, a sin to be judged.
12 It is a fire that burns to Destruction; it would have uprooted my harvest.
13 "If I have denied justice to my menservants and maidservants when they had a grievance against me,
14 what will I do when God confronts me? What will I answer when called to account?
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?
16 "If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,
17 if I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with the fatherless--
18 but from my youth I reared him as would a father, and from my birth I guided the widow--
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or a needy man without a garment,
20 and his heart did not bless me for warming him with the fleece from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, knowing that I had influence in court,
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let it be broken off at the joint.
23 For I dreaded destruction from God, and for fear of his splendour I could not do such things.
24 "If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold,`You are my security,'
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune my hands had gained,
26 if I have regarded the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendour,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,
28 then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.
29 "If I have rejoiced at my enemy's misfortune or gloated over the trouble that came to him--
30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin by invoking a curse against his life--
31 if the men of my household have never said,`Who has not had his fill of Job's meat?'--
32 but no stranger had to spend the night in the street, for my door was always open to the traveller--
33 if I have concealed my sin as men do, by hiding my guilt in my heart
34 because I so feared the crowd and so dreaded the contempt of the clans that I kept silent and would not go outside--
35 ("Oh, that I had someone to hear me! I sign now my defence-- let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser put his indictment in writing.
36 Surely I would wear it on my shoulder, I would put it on like a crown.
37 I would give him an account of my every step; like a prince I would approach him.)--
38 "if my land cries out against me and all its furrows are wet with tears,
39 if I have devoured its yield without payment or broken the spirit of its tenants,
40 then let briers come up instead of wheat and weeds instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
1 I made H3772 VQQ1MS a covenant H1285 NFS with mine eyes H5869 L-CMD-1MS ; why H4100 W-IGAT then should I think H995 VTY1MS upon H5921 PREP a maid H1330 NFS ?
2 For what H4100 W-IGAT portion H2506 CMS of God H433 NAME-4MS is there from above H4605 M-ADV ? and what inheritance H5159 W-NFS of the Almighty H7706 EDS from on high H4791 M-NMP ?
3 Is not H3808 I-NADV destruction H343 CMS to the wicked H5767 L-NMP ? and a strange H5235 W-NMS punishment to the workers H6466 L-VQCMP of iniquity H205 NMS ?
4 Doth not H3808 I-NADV he H1931 PPRO-3MS see H7200 VQY3MS my ways H1870 NCP-1MS , and count H5608 VQY3MS all H3605 W-CMS my steps H6806 NMP-1MS ?
5 If H518 PART I have walked H1980 VQQ1MS with H5973 PREP vanity H7723 NMS , or if my foot H7272 CFS-1MS hath hasted H2363 W-VQQ3FS to H5921 PREP deceit H4820 NFS ;
6 Let me be weighed H8254 VQY3MS-1MS in an even H6664 NMS balance H3976 B-CMD , that God H433 NAME-4MS may know H3045 W-VQQ3MS mine integrity H8538 CFS-1MS .
7 If H518 PART my step H838 CFS-1MS hath turned H5186 VQY3FS out of H4480 PREP-1MS the way H1870 D-NMS , and mine heart H3820 NMS-1MS walked H1980 VQQ3MS after H310 W-ADV mine eyes H5869 CMD-1MS , and if any blot H3971 NMS hath cleaved H1692 VQQ3MS to mine hands H3709 WB-CFD-1MS ;
8 Then let me sow H2232 VQI1MS , and let another H312 W-AMS eat H398 VQY3MS ; yea , let my offspring H6631 W-CMP-1MS be rooted out H8327 VUY3MP .
9 If H518 PART mine heart H3820 NMS-1MS have been deceived H6601 VNQ3MS by H5921 PREP a woman H802 NFS , or if I have laid wait H693 VQQ1MS at H5921 PREP my neighbor H7453 CMS-1MS \'s door H6607 CMS ;
10 Then let my wife H802 CFS-1MS grind H2912 VQY3FS unto another H312 L-AMS , and let others H312 AMP bow down H3766 VQY3MP-3FP upon H5921 W-PREP-3FS her .
11 For H3588 CONJ this H1931 PPRO-3MS is a heinous crime H2154 NFS ; yea , it H1931 W-PPRO-3MS is an iniquity H5771 NMS to be punished by the judges H6414 NMP .
12 For H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3FS is a fire H784 CMS that consumeth H398 VQY3FS to H5704 PREP destruction H11 NMS , and would root out H8327 VPY3FS all H3605 WB-CMS mine increase H8393 CFS-1MS .
13 If H518 PART I did despise H3988 VQY1MS the cause H4941 CMS of my manservant H5650 CMS-1MS or of my maidservant H519 W-CFS-1MS , when they contended H7378 B-CMS-3MP with H5978 PREP-1MS me ;
14 What H4100 W-IGAT then shall I do H6213 VQY1MS when H3588 CONJ God H410 EDS riseth up H6965 VQY3MS ? and when H3588 CONJ he visiteth H6485 VQY3MS , what H4100 IGAT shall I answer H7725 VHY1MS-3MS him ?
15 Did not H3808 I-NADV he that made H6213 VQCMS-1MS me in the womb H990 BD-NFS make H6213 VQQ3MS-3MS him ? and did not one H259 ONUM fashion H3559 W-VPY3MS-1MS us in the womb H7358 BD-NMS ?
16 If H518 PART I have withheld H4513 VQY1MS the poor H1800 JMP from their desire H2656 M-CMS , or have caused the eyes H5869 W-CMD of the widow H490 NFS to fail H3615 VPY1MS ;
17 Or have eaten H398 W-VQY1MS my morsel H6595 CFS-1MS myself alone H905 L-CMS-1MS , and the fatherless H3490 NMS hath not H3808 W-NPAR eaten H398 VQQ3MS thereof H4480 PREP-3FS ;
18 ( CONJ For CONJ from my youth H5271 M-CMP-1MS he was brought up H1431 VQQ3MS-1MS with me , as with a father H1 K-NMS , and I have guided H5148 VHY1MS-3FS her from my mother H517 CFS-1MS \'s womb H990 WM-CFS ; )
19 If H518 PART I have seen H7200 VQY1MS any perish H6 VQPMS for want H1097 M-NPAR of clothing H3830 NMS , or any poor H34 LD-AMS without H369 W-NPAR covering H3682 NFS ;
20 If H518 PART his loins H2504 CMD-3MS have not H3808 NADV blessed H1288 VPQ3MP-1MS me , and if he were not warmed H2552 VTY3MS with the fleece H1488 WM-CMS of my sheep H3532 CMP-1MS ;
21 If H518 PART I have lifted up H5130 VHQ1MS my hand H3027 CFS-1MS against H5921 PREP the fatherless H3490 NMS , when H3588 CONJ I saw H7200 VQY1MS my help H5833 CFS-1MS in the gate H8179 BD-NMS :
22 Then let mine arm H3802 CFS-1MS fall H5307 VQY3FS from my shoulder blade H7929 M-CMS-3FS , and mine arm H248 W-CFS-1MS be broken H7665 VNY3FS from the bone H7070 M-CMS-3FS .
23 For H3588 CONJ destruction H343 CMS from God H410 EDS was a terror H6343 NMS to H413 PREP-1MS me , and by reason of his highness H7613 WM-CFS-3MS I could H3201 VQY1MS not H3808 NADV endure .
24 If H518 PART I have made H7760 VQQ1MS gold H2091 NMS my hope H3689 CMS-1MS , or have said H559 VQQ1MS to the fine gold H3800 WLD-CMS , Thou art my confidence H4009 CMS-1MS ;
25 If H518 PART I rejoiced H8055 VQY1MS because H3588 CONJ my wealth H2428 CMS-1MS was great H7227 AMS , and because H3588 CONJ mine hand H3027 CFS-1MS had gotten H4672 VQQ3FS much H3524 AMS ;
26 If H518 PART I beheld H7200 VQY1MS the sun H216 NMS when H3588 CONJ it shined H1984 VHY3MS , or the moon H3394 W-NMS walking H1980 VQPMS in brightness H3368 AMS ;
27 And my heart H3820 NMS-1MS hath been secretly H5643 BD-NMS enticed H6601 W-VQY3MS , or my mouth H6310 L-CMS-1MS hath kissed H5401 W-VQQ3FS my hand H3027 CFS-1MS :
28 This H1931 PPRO-3MS also H1571 CONJ were an iniquity H5771 NMS to be punished by the judge H6416 AMS : for H3588 CONJ I should have denied H3584 VPQ1MS the God H410 L-NMS that is above H4605 M-ADV .
29 If H518 PART I rejoiced H8055 VQY1MS at the destruction H6365 B-CMS of him that hated H8130 VPCMS-1MS me , or lifted up myself H5782 W-VTQ1MS when H3588 CONJ evil H7451 AMS found H4672 VQQ3MS-3MS him :
30 Neither H3808 W-NPAR have I suffered H5414 VQQ1MS my mouth H2441 CMS-1MS to sin H2398 L-VQFC by wishing H7592 L-VQFC a curse H423 B-NFS to his soul H5315 CFS-3MS .
31 If H518 PART the men H4962 CMP of my tabernacle H168 CMS-1MS said H559 VQQ3MP not H3808 NADV , Oh that H4310 IPRO we had H5414 VHFA of his flesh H1320 M-CMS-3MS ! we cannot H3808 NADV be satisfied H7646 VNPMS .
32 The stranger H1616 NMS did not H3808 NADV lodge H3885 VQY3MS in the street H2351 BD-NMS : but I opened H6605 VQQ1MS my doors H1817 CFD-1MS to the traveler H734 LD-NMS .
33 If H518 PART I covered H3680 VPQ1MS my transgressions H6588 CMP-1MS as Adam H121 K-NMS , by hiding H2934 L-VQFC mine iniquity H5771 CMS-1MS in my bosom H2243 B-CMS-1MS :
34 Did I fear H6206 VQY1MS a great H7227 AFS multitude H1995 NMS , or did the contempt H937 W-CMS of families H4940 NFP terrify H2865 VHY3MS-1MS me , that I kept silence H1826 W-VQQ1MS , and went not out H3318 VQY1MS of the door H6607 NMS ?
35 Oh that H4310 IPRO one would H5414 VQY3MS hear H8085 PREP-1MS me ! behold H2005 PART , my desire H8420 NMS-3MS is , that the Almighty H7706 EDS would answer H6030 VQY3MS-1MS me , and that mine adversary H7379 CMS-1MS had written H3789 CMS a book H5612 W-VQQ3MS .
36 Surely H518 PART I would take H5375 VQY1MS-3MS it upon H5921 PREP my shoulder H7926 CMS-1MS , and bind H6029 VQY1MS-3MS it as a crown H5850 NFP to me .
37 I would declare H5046 VHY1MS-3MS unto him the number H4557 CMS of my steps H6806 NMP-1MS ; as H3644 PREP a prince H5057 NMS would I go near unto H7126 VPY1MS-3MS him .
38 If H518 PART my land H127 CFS-1MS cry H2199 VQY3FS against H5921 PREP-1MS me , or that the furrows H8525 CMP-3FS likewise H3162 W-ADV thereof complain H1058 VQY3MP-3FP ;
39 If H518 PART I have eaten H398 VQQ1MS the fruits H3581 CMS-3FS thereof without H1097 ADV money H3701 NMS , or have caused the owners H1167 CMP-3FS thereof to lose H5301 VHQ1MS their life H5315 W-GFS :
40 Let thistles H2336 NMS grow H3318 VQY3MS instead H8478 NMS of wheat H2406 NFS , and cockle H890 NFS instead H8478 NMS of barley H8184 NFS . The words H1697 CMP of Job H347 EMS are ended H8552 VQQ3MP .
