Job 31:5-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 “If I have walked with falsehood,
and my foot has hurried to deceit—(A)
6 let me be weighed in a just balance,
and let God know my integrity!—(B)
7 if my step has turned aside from the way,
and my heart has followed my eyes,
and if any spot has clung to my hands,(C)
8 then let me sow and another eat,
and let what grows for me be rooted out.(D)
Job 31:5-8
International Standard Version
No Lies and Deception
5 “If I’ve lived my life in the company of vanity,
or run quickly to embrace deception,
6 let my righteousness be weighed in honest scales,
and God will make known my integrity.
7 If I have stepped away from the way,
or if my heart covets whatever my eyes see,
or if some other blemish clings to my hands,
8 what I’ve planted, let another eat
or let my crops be uprooted.”
