Job 31:9-15
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)
13 “If I have denied justice to any of my servants,(J)
whether male or female,
when they had a grievance against me,(K)
14 what will I do when God confronts me?(L)
What will I answer when called to account?(M)
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them?(N)
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?(O)

Job 31:9-15
King James Version
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

Job 31:9-15
New King James Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 Then let my wife grind for (A)another,
And let others bow down over her.
11 For that would be wickedness;
Yes, (B)it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.
12 For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction,
And would root out all my increase.
13 “If I have (C)despised the cause of my male or female servant
When they complained against me,
14 What then shall I do when (D)God rises up?
When He punishes, how shall I answer Him?
15 (E)Did not He who made me in the womb make them?
Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
