Job 31:13-40
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 “If I have (A)despised the claim of my male or female slaves
When they filed a complaint against me,
14 What then could I do when God arises?
And when He calls me to account, what will I answer Him?
15 “Did not (B)He who made me in the womb make him,
And the same one fashion us in the womb?
16 “If I have kept (C)the poor from their desire,
Or have caused the eyes of (D)the widow to fail,
17 Or have (E)eaten my morsel alone,
And (F)the orphan has not [a]shared it
18 (But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,
And from [b]infancy I guided her),
19 If I have seen anyone perish (G)for lack of clothing,
Or that (H)the needy had no covering,
20 If his loins have not [c]thanked me,
And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 If I have lifted up my hand against (I)the orphan,
Because I saw [d]I had support (J)in the gate,
22 Let my shoulder fall from the [e]socket,
And my (K)arm be broken off [f]at the elbow.
23 “For (L)calamity from God is a terror to me,
And because of (M)His [g]majesty I can do nothing.
24 “If I have put my confidence in (N)gold,
And called fine gold my trust,
25 If I have (O)gloated because my wealth was great,
And because my hand had secured so much;
26 If I have (P)looked at the [h]sun when it shone
Or the moon going in splendor,
27 And my heart became secretly enticed,
And my hand [i]threw a kiss from my mouth,
28 That too would have been (Q)an iniquity calling for [j]judgment,
For I would have (R)denied God above.
29 “Have I (S)rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy,
Or [k]exulted when evil befell him?
30 “[l]No, (T)I have not [m]allowed my mouth to sin
By asking for his life in (U)a curse.
31 “Have the men of my tent not said,
‘Who can [n]find one who has not been (V)satisfied with his meat’?
32 “The alien has not lodged outside,
For I have opened my doors to the [o]traveler.
33 “Have I (W)covered my transgressions like [p]Adam,
By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
34 Because I (X)feared the great multitude,
And the contempt of families terrified me,
And kept silent and did not go out of doors?
35 “Oh that I had one to hear me!
Behold, here is my [q]signature;
(Y)Let the Almighty answer me!
And the indictment which my (Z)adversary has written,
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder,
I would bind it to myself like a crown.
37 “I would declare to Him (AA)the number of my steps;
Like (AB)a prince I would approach Him.
38 “If my (AC)land cries out against me,
And its furrows weep together;
39 If I have (AD)eaten its [r]fruit without money,
Or have (AE)caused [s]its owners to lose their lives,
40 Let (AF)briars [t]grow instead of wheat,
And stinkweed instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.
