Job 31:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 “If my heart has been (A)enticed by a woman,
Or I have lurked at my neighbor’s doorway,
10 May my wife (B)grind grain for another,
And let (C)others [a]kneel down over her.
11 For that would be a (D)lustful crime;
Moreover, it would be (E)wrongdoing punishable by judges.
12 For it would be (F)fire that consumes to [b](G)Abaddon,
And would (H)uproot all my [c]increase.
Job 31:9-12
Christian Standard Bible
9 If my heart has gone astray over a woman
or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 let my own wife grind grain for another man,
and let other men sleep with[a] her.
11 For that would be a disgrace;
it would be an iniquity deserving punishment.(A)
12 For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon;
it would destroy my entire harvest.(B)
