Job-31

(English Standard Version)

切换到福音影视网-新版圣经

  • 1 "I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin?
  • 2 What would be my portion from God above and my heritage from the Almighty on high?
  • 3 Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for the workers of iniquity?
  • 4 Does not he see my ways and number all my steps?
  • 5 "If I have walked with falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit;
  • 6 (Let me be weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)
  • 7 if my step has turned aside from the way and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has stuck to my hands,
  • 8 then let me sow, and another eat, and let what grows for me be rooted out.
  • 9 "If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door,
  • 10 then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down on her.
  • 11 For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
  • 12 for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.
  • 13 "If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me,
  • 14 what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
  • 15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
  • 16 "If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
  • 17 or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it
  • 18 (for from my youth the fatherless grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother's womb I guided the widow),
  • 19 if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or the needy without covering,
  • 20 if his body has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
  • 21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,
  • 22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.
  • 23 For I was in terror of calamity from God, and I could not have faced his majesty.
  • 24 "If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence,
  • 25 if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant or because my hand had found much,
  • 26 if I have looked at the sun when it shone, or the moon moving in splendor,
  • 27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand,
  • 28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have been false to God above.
  • 29 "If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, or exulted when evil overtook him
  • 30 (I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse),
  • 31 if the men of my tent have not said, 'Who is there that has not been filled with his meat?'
  • 32 (the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the traveler),
  • 33 if I have concealed my transgressions as others do by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
  • 34 because I stood in great fear of the multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—
  • 35 Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!
  • 36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me as a crown;
  • 37 I would give him an account of all my steps; like a prince I would approach him.
  • 38 "If my land has cried out against me and its furrows have wept together,
  • 39 if I have eaten its yield without payment and made its owners breathe their last,
  • 40 let thorns grow instead of wheat, and foul weeds instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
