Job

Chapter 31

Job maketh a solemn protestation of his integrity in several duties.

        31:1 ¶ I made 3772 8804z a covenant 1285 with mine eyes; 5869 why 4100x then should I think 995 8709z upon 5921x a maid? 1330

        31:2 For what 4100x portion 2506 of God 433 [is there] from above? 4605 4480x and [what] inheritance 5159 of the Almighty 7706 from on high? 4791 4480x

        31:3 [Is] not 3808x destruction 343 to the wicked? 5767 and a strange 5235 [punishment] to the workers 6466 8802z of iniquity? 205

        31:4 Doth not 3808x he 1931x see 7200 8799z my ways, 1870 and count 5608 8799z all 3605x my steps? 6806

        31:5 If 518x I have walked 1980 8804z with 5973x vanity, 7723 or if my foot 7272 hath hasted 2363 8799z to 5921x deceit; 4820

        31:6 Let me be weighed 8254 8799z in an even 6664 balance, 3976 that God 433 may know 3045 8799z mine integrity. 8538

        31:7 If 518x my step 838 hath turned 5186x out 5186y 8799z of 4480x the way, 1870 and mine heart 3820 walked 1980 8804z after 310 mine eyes, 5869 and if any blot 3971 hath cleaved 1692 8804z to mine hands; 3709

        31:8 [Then] let me sow, 2232 8799z and let another 312 eat; 398 8799z yea, let my offspring 6631 be rooted out. 8327 8792z

        31:9 If 518x mine heart 3820 have been deceived 6601 8738z by 5921x a woman, 802 or [if] I have laid wait 693 8804z at 5921x my neighbour's 7453 door; 6607

        31:10 [Then] let my wife 802 grind 2912 8799z unto another, 312 and let others 312 bow down 3766 8799z upon 5921x her.

        31:11 For 3588x this 1931x [is] an heinous crime; 2154 yea, it 1931x [is] an iniquity 5771 [to be punished by] the judges. 6414

        31:12 For 3588x it 1931x [is] a fire 784 [that] consumeth 398 8799z to 5704x destruction, 11 and would root out 8327 8762z all 3605x mine increase. 8393

        31:13 If 518x I did despise 3988 8799z the cause 4941 of my manservant 5650 or of my maidservant, 519 when they contended 7379y 7378x with 5978x me;

        31:14 What 4100x then shall I do 6213 8799z when 3588x God 410 riseth up? 6965 8799z and when 3588x he visiteth, 6485 8799z what 4100x shall I answer 7725 8686z him?

        31:15 Did not 3808x he that made 6213 8802z me in the womb 990 make 6213 8804z him? and did not one 259 fashion 3559 8787z us in the womb? 7358

        31:16 If 518x I have withheld 4513 8799z the poor 1800 from [their] desire, 2656 4480x or have caused the eyes 5869 of the widow 490 to fail; 3615 8762z

        31:17 Or have eaten 398 8799z my morsel 6595 myself alone, 905x and the fatherless 3490 hath not 3808x eaten 398 8804z thereof; 4480x

        31:18 (For 3588x from my youth 5271 4480x he was brought up 1431 8804z with me, as [with] a father, 1 and I have guided 5148 8686z her from my mother's 517 womb;) 990 4480x

        31:19 If 518x I have seen 7200 8799z any perish 6 8802z for want 4480x 1097x of clothing, 3830 or any poor 34 without 369x covering; 3682

        31:20 If 518x his loins 2504 have not 3808x blessed 1288 8765z me, and [if] he were [not] warmed 2552 8691z with the fleece 1488 4480x of my sheep; 3532

        31:21 If 518x I have lifted up 5130 8689z my hand 3027 against 5921x the fatherless, 3490 when 3588x I saw 7200 8799z my help 5833 in the gate: 8179

        31:22 [Then] let mine arm 3802 fall 5307 8799z from my shoulder blade, 7929 4480x and mine arm 248 be broken 7665 8735z from the bone. 7070 4480x

        31:23 For 3588x destruction 343 [from] God 410 [was] a terror 6343 to 413x me, and by reason of his highness 7613 4480x I could 3201 8799z not 3808x endure.

        31:24 If 518x I have made 7760 8804z gold 2091 my hope, 3689 or have said 559 8804z to the fine gold, 3800 [Thou art] my confidence; 4009

        31:25 If 518x I rejoiced 8055 8799z because 3588x my wealth 2428 [was] great, 7227 and because 3588x mine hand 3027 had gotten 4672 8804z much; 3524

        31:26 If 518x I beheld 7200 8799z the sun 216 when 3588x it shined, 1984 8686z or the moon 3394 walking 1980 8802z [in] brightness; 3368

        31:27 And my heart 3820 hath been secretly 5643 enticed, 6601 8799z or my mouth 6310 hath kissed 5401 8799z my hand: 3027

        31:28 This 1931x also 1571x [were] an iniquity 5771 [to be punished by] the judge: 6416 for 3588x I should have denied 3584 8765z the God 410 [that is] above. 4605 4480x

        31:29 If 518x I rejoiced 8055 8799z at the destruction 6365 of him that hated 8130 8764z me, or lifted up 5782y 8712z myself 5782x when 3588x evil 7451 found 4672 8804z him:

        31:30 Neither 3808x have I suffered 5414 8804z my mouth 2441 to sin 2398 8800z by wishing 7592 8800z a curse 423 to his soul. 5315

        31:31 If 518x the men 4962 of my tabernacle 168 said 559 8804z not, 3808x Oh that 4310x we had 5414 8799z of his flesh! 1320 4480x we cannot 3808x be satisfied. 7646 8799z

        31:32 The stranger 1616 did not 3808x lodge 3885 8799z in the street: 2351 [but] I opened 6605 8799z my doors 1817 to the traveller. 734

        31:33 If 518x I covered 3680 8765z my transgressions 6588 as Adam, 121 by hiding 2934 8800z mine iniquity 5771 in my bosom: 2243

        31:34 Did I fear 6206 8799z a great 7227 multitude, 1995 or did the contempt 937 of families 4940 terrify 2865 8686z me, that I kept silence, 1826 8799z [and] went not out 3318 8799z 3808x of the door? 6607

        31:35 Oh that 5414y 8799z 4310x one would 5414x hear 8085 8802z me! behold, 2005x my desire 8420 [is, that] the Almighty 7706 would answer 6030 8799z me, and [that] mine adversary 376 7379 had written 3789 8804z a book. 5612

        31:36 Surely 518x I would take 5375 8799z it upon 5921x my shoulder, 7926 [and] bind 6029 8799z it [as] a crown 5850 to me.

        31:37 I would declare 5046 8686z unto him the number 4557 of my steps; 6806 as 3644x a prince 5057 would I go near 7126y 8762z unto 7126x him.

        31:38 If 518x my land 127 cry 2199 8799z against 5921x me, or that the furrows 8525 likewise 3162 thereof complain; 1058 8799z

        31:39 If 518x I have eaten 398 8804z the fruits 3581 thereof without 1097x money, 3701 or have caused the owners 1167 thereof to lose 5301 8689z their life: 5315

        31:40 Let thistles 2336 grow 3318 8799z instead 8478x of wheat, 2406 and cockle 890 instead 8478x of barley. 8184 The words 1697 of Job 347 are ended. 8552 8804z
