Job 31:9-12
New International Reader's Version
9 “Suppose my heart has been tempted by a woman.
Or suppose I’ve prowled around my neighbor’s home.
10 Then may my wife grind another man’s grain.
May other men sleep with her.
11 Wanting another woman would have been an evil thing.
It would have been a sin that should be judged.
12 It’s like a fire that burns down to the grave.
It would have caused my crops to be pulled up by the roots.
Job 31:9-12
New International Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed(A) by a woman,(B)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(C) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(D)
11 For that would have been wicked,(E)
a sin to be judged.(F)
12 It is a fire(G) that burns to Destruction[a];(H)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(I)
