jub - 31

jub@Job:31:1 @ I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a maid?

jub@Job:31:2 @ For what reward would God [give me] from above and [what] inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

jub@Job:31:3 @ Is there no destruction for the wicked? And banishment for the workers of iniquity?

jub@Job:31:4 @ Does he not see my ways and count all my steps?

jub@Job:31:5 @ If I have walked with falsehood or if my foot has hastened to deceit,

jub@Job:31:6 @ let me be weighed in a just balance, that God may know my integrity.

jub@Job:31:7 @ If my step has turned out of the way and my heart walked after my eyes and if any blot has cleaved to my hands,

jub@Job:31:8 @ [then] let me sow, and let another eat, and let my offspring be rooted out.

jub@Job:31:9 @ If my heart has been deceived regarding a woman, or [if] I have laid in wait at my neighbour's door,

jub@Job:31:10 @ [then] let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.

jub@Job:31:11 @ For this is lewdness and iniquity that is proven.

jub@Job:31:12 @ For it [is] a fire [that] consumes unto Sheol and would root out all my increase.

jub@Job:31:13 @ If I had despised the right of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

jub@Job:31:14 @ what then would I do when God rises up? And when he visits, what would I answer him?

jub@Job:31:15 @ Did not he that made me in the belly [also] make him? And did not [the same] one fashion us in the womb?

jub@Job:31:16 @ If I have disturbed the desire of the poor or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

jub@Job:31:17 @ or have eaten my morsel alone and the fatherless has not eaten thereof;

jub@Job:31:18 @ (for from my youth the [fatherless] was brought up with me, as [with] a father, and I have guided the [widow] from my mother's womb)

jub@Job:31:19 @ if I have seen any perish for want of clothing or any needy without [a] covering;

jub@Job:31:20 @ if his loins have not blessed me and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

jub@Job:31:21 @ if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw that they would all help me in the gate;

jub@Job:31:22 @ [then] let my back fall from my shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from its joint.

jub@Job:31:23 @ For I feared destruction [from] God, against whose highness I could have no power.

jub@Job:31:24 @ If I have made gold my hope or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence;

jub@Job:31:25 @ if I rejoiced because my wealth [was] being multiplied, and because my hand had gotten much;

jub@Job:31:26 @ if I beheld the sun when it shone or the moon walking [in] beauty;

jub@Job:31:27 @ and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth kissed my hand;

jub@Job:31:28 @ this would also be a proven iniquity; for I should have denied the God that is sovereign.

jub@Job:31:29 @ If I rejoiced at the destruction of the one that hated me or lifted up myself when evil found him;

jub@Job:31:30 @ for I have never even suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse upon his soul;

jub@Job:31:31 @ when the servants of my tent said, Oh that we had of his flesh! We would never be satisfied.

jub@Job:31:32 @ The stranger did not lodge in the street, [but] I opened my doors to the traveller.

jub@Job:31:33 @ If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom;

jub@Job:31:34 @ if I feared a great multitude or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] did not go out of the door?

jub@Job:31:35 @ Oh that someone would hear me! Behold, my mark [is], [that] the Almighty will testify for me, even though my adversary had written down the charges.

jub@Job:31:36 @ Surely I would take it upon my shoulder [and] bind it [as] a crown to me.

jub@Job:31:37 @ I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince I would go near unto him.

jub@Job:31:38 @ If my land cries against me and all its furrows likewise complain;

jub@Job:31:39 @ if I ate of its strength without money or have afflicted the soul of its owners;

jub@Job:31:40 @ let thistles grow up unto me instead of wheat and stinkweed instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.:
