3 O Lord my God, if I have done wrong
or am guilty of injustice,

or plundered my enemy without cause,
5 then let my enemies capture me.
Let them trample me into the ground
and drag my honor in the dust. Interlude

Job 31:5-40
New Living Translation
Job 31:5-40
New Living Translation
5 “Have I lied to anyone
or deceived anyone?
6 Let God weigh me on the scales of justice,
for he knows my integrity.
7 If I have strayed from his pathway,
or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen,
or if I am guilty of any other sin,
8 then let someone else eat the crops I have planted.
Let all that I have planted be uprooted.
9 “If my heart has been seduced by a woman,
or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife,
10 then let my wife serve[a] another man;
let other men sleep with her.
11 For lust is a shameful sin,
a crime that should be punished.
12 It is a fire that burns all the way to hell.[b]
It would wipe out everything I own.
13 “If I have been unfair to my male or female servants
when they brought their complaints to me,
14 how could I face God?
What could I say when he questioned me?
15 For God created both me and my servants.
He created us both in the womb.
16 “Have I refused to help the poor,
or crushed the hopes of widows?
17 Have I been stingy with my food
and refused to share it with orphans?
18 No, from childhood I have cared for orphans like a father,
and all my life I have cared for widows.
19 Whenever I saw the homeless without clothes
and the needy with nothing to wear,
20 did they not praise me
for providing wool clothing to keep them warm?
21 “If I raised my hand against an orphan,
knowing the judges would take my side,
22 then let my shoulder be wrenched out of place!
Let my arm be torn from its socket!
23 That would be better than facing God’s judgment.
For if the majesty of God opposes me, what hope is there?
24 “Have I put my trust in money
or felt secure because of my gold?
25 Have I gloated about my wealth
and all that I own?
26 “Have I looked at the sun shining in the skies,
or the moon walking down its silver pathway,
27 and been secretly enticed in my heart
to throw kisses at them in worship?
28 If so, I should be punished by the judges,
for it would mean I had denied the God of heaven.
29 “Have I ever rejoiced when disaster struck my enemies,
or become excited when harm came their way?
30 No, I have never sinned by cursing anyone
or by asking for revenge.
31 “My servants have never said,
‘He let others go hungry.’
32 I have never turned away a stranger
but have opened my doors to everyone.
33 “Have I tried to hide my sins like other people do,
concealing my guilt in my heart?
34 Have I feared the crowd
or the contempt of the masses,
so that I kept quiet and stayed indoors?
35 “If only someone would listen to me!
Look, I will sign my name to my defense.
Let the Almighty answer me.
Let my accuser write out the charges against me.
36 I would face the accusation proudly.
I would wear it like a crown.
37 For I would tell him exactly what I have done.
I would come before him like a prince.
38 “If my land accuses me
and all its furrows cry out together,
39 or if I have stolen its crops
or murdered its owners,
40 then let thistles grow on that land instead of wheat,
and weeds instead of barley.”
Job’s words are ended.

Job 31:5-40
New International Version
5 “If I have walked with falsehood
or my foot has hurried after deceit(A)—
6 let God weigh me(B) in honest scales(C)
and he will know that I am blameless(D)—
7 if my steps have turned from the path,(E)
if my heart has been led by my eyes,
or if my hands(F) have been defiled,(G)
8 then may others eat what I have sown,(H)
and may my crops be uprooted.(I)
9 “If my heart has been enticed(J) by a woman,(K)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(L) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(M)
11 For that would have been wicked,(N)
a sin to be judged.(O)
12 It is a fire(P) that burns to Destruction[a];(Q)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(R)
13 “If I have denied justice to any of my servants,(S)
whether male or female,
when they had a grievance against me,(T)
14 what will I do when God confronts me?(U)
What will I answer when called to account?(V)
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them?(W)
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?(X)
16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor(Y)
or let the eyes of the widow(Z) grow weary,(AA)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless(AB)—
18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow(AC)—
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(AD)
or the needy(AE) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(AF)
for warming them with the fleece(AG) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(AH)
knowing that I had influence in court,(AI)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.(AJ)
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,(AK)
and for fear of his splendor(AL) I could not do such things.(AM)
24 “If I have put my trust in gold(AN)
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’(AO)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,(AP)
the fortune my hands had gained,(AQ)
26 if I have regarded the sun(AR) in its radiance
or the moon(AS) moving in splendor,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed(AT)
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,(AU)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,(AV)
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.(AW)
29 “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune(AX)
or gloated over the trouble that came to him(AY)—
30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life(AZ)—
31 if those of my household have never said,
‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’(BA)—
32 but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler(BB)—
33 if I have concealed(BC) my sin as people do,[b]
by hiding(BD) my guilt in my heart
34 because I so feared the crowd(BE)
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent(BF) and would not go outside—
35 (“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!(BG)
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
let my accuser(BH) put his indictment in writing.
36 Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,(BI)
I would put it on like a crown.(BJ)
37 I would give him an account of my every step;(BK)
I would present it to him as to a ruler.(BL))—
38 “if my land cries out against me(BM)
and all its furrows are wet(BN) with tears,
39 if I have devoured its yield without payment(BO)
or broken the spirit of its tenants,(BP)
40 then let briers(BQ) come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed(BR) instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.(BS)
