Job 31:29-40

New International Version

²⁹ “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune^(A)
    or gloated over the trouble that came to him^(B)—
³⁰ I have not allowed my mouth to sin
    by invoking a curse against their life^(C)—
³¹ if those of my household have never said,
    ‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’^(D)—
³² but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
    for my door was always open to the traveler^(E)—
³³ if I have concealed^(F) my sin as people do,^[a]
    by hiding^(G) my guilt in my heart
³⁴ because I so feared the crowd^(H)
    and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
    that I kept silent^(I) and would not go outside—

³⁵ (“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!^(J)
    I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
    let my accuser^(K) put his indictment in writing.
³⁶ Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,^(L)
    I would put it on like a crown.^(M)
37 I would give him an account of my every step;^(N)
    I would present it to him as to a ruler.^(O))—

³⁸ “if my land cries out against me^(P)
    and all its furrows are wet^(Q) with tears,
³⁹ if I have devoured its yield without payment^(R)
    or broken the spirit of its tenants,^(S)
40 then let briers^(T) come up instead of wheat
    and stinkweed^(U) instead of barley.”
