gltv@Job:31:1 @ I made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I look intently on a virgin?
gltv@Job:31:2 @ For what is the portion from God above? And what is the legacy from the Almighty on high?
gltv@Job:31:3 @ Is it not disaster to the perverse, and calamity to the workers of iniquity?
gltv@Job:31:5 @ If I have walked with vanity, or my foot has hurried to deceit,
gltv@Job:31:6 @ let me be weighed in a just balance so that God may know my integrity.
gltv@Job:31:7 @ If my step has turned aside out of the way, or my heart has walked after my eyes, and if any blot has held fast to my hands,
gltv@Job:31:8 @ let me sow, and let another eat; and let my harvests be rooted out.
gltv@Job:31:9 @ If my heart has been enticed by a woman; or I have laid wait at my neighbor's door,
gltv@Job:31:10 @ let my wife grind to another, and let others crouch over her.
gltv@Job:31:11 @ For that would be an evil scheme, and is iniquity for judges.
gltv@Job:31:12 @ For it is a fire that devours to the Place of Ruin, and it would root up all my gain.
gltv@Job:31:13 @ If I despised the cause of my male slave or my slave-girl when they contended with me,
gltv@Job:31:14 @ what then shall I do when God rises up? And when He calls me to account, what shall I answer Him?
gltv@Job:31:15 @ Did not He who made me in the belly make him? And did not One shape us in the womb?
gltv@Job:31:16 @ If I have withheld from the desire of the poor, or I have caused the widow's eyes to fail,
gltv@Job:31:17 @ or have eaten my bit alone, and the orphan has not eaten it,
gltv@Job:31:18 @ for from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother's womb I guided her.
gltv@Job:31:19 @ If I have seen any perish for lack of clothing, or there was no covering for the needy;
gltv@Job:31:20 @ if his loins have not blessed me, and he warmed himself with the fleece of my flock;
gltv@Job:31:21 @ if I have lifted up my hand against the orphan, when I watched over my help in the gate;
gltv@Job:31:22 @ let my shoulder fall from the back, and let my arm be broken from the elbow.
gltv@Job:31:23 @ for trouble from God is a terror to me, and I could not do the thing because of His majesty.
gltv@Job:31:24 @ If I have made gold my hope or have called fine gold my trust;
gltv@Job:31:25 @ if I rejoiced because my wealth was great; or because my hand had gotten much;
gltv@Job:31:26 @ if I looked to the light when it shone, or the moon marching in splendor,
gltv@Job:31:27 @ and my heart was secretly enticed. or my mouth has kissed my hand;
gltv@Job:31:28 @ this also would be an iniquity for the judges; for I would have denied God above.
gltv@Job:31:29 @ If I rejoiced at the ruin of my enemy, and I was excited when evil found him;
gltv@Job:31:30 @ also I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse;
gltv@Job:31:31 @ if the men of my tent did not say, Who can find one not being satisfied from his meat,
gltv@Job:31:32 @ the stranger did not sleep in the street, for I opened my doors to the traveler;
gltv@Job:31:33 @ if I covered my transgressions like Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
gltv@Job:31:34 @ then let me fear before a great multitude, and let the scorn of families frighten me and I will be silent, and not go out the door.
gltv@Job:31:35 @ Oh that I had one to hear me! See, my mark! Let the Almighty answer me, and let my Accuser write an indictment.
gltv@Job:31:36 @ Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and bind it like crowns to me.
gltv@Job:31:37 @ I would tell Him the number of my steps. Like a prince I would go near Him.
gltv@Job:31:38 @ If my land cries out against me, or its furrows weep together;
gltv@Job:31:39 @ if I have eaten its strength without silver, or have caused its owner to expire;
gltv@Job:31:40 @ let thorns come forth instead of wheat, and a weed instead of barley. The words of are finished.
