(World English Bible)

  • 1 “I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?
  • 2 For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?
  • 3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
  • 4 Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?
  • 5 “If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit
  • 6 (let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
  • 7 if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
  • 8 then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
  • 9 “If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,
  • 10 then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
  • 11 For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
  • 12 For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
  • 13 “If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me;
  • 14 What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?
  • 15 Didn’t he who made me in the womb make him? Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?
  • 16 “If I have withheld the poor from their desire, 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 (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, her I have guided from my mother’s womb);
  • 19 if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
  • 20 if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;
  • 21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,
  • 22 then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
  • 23 For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because his majesty, I can do nothing.
  • 24 “If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’
  • 25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
  • 26 if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,
  • 27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,
  • 28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have denied the God who is above.
  • 29 “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him
  • 30 (yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);
  • 31 if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’
  • 32 (the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
  • 33 if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
  • 34 because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—
  • 35 oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!
  • 36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; and I would bind it to me as a crown.
  • 37 I would declare to him the number of my steps. as a prince would I go near to him.
  • 38 If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;
  • 39 if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,
  • 40 let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.
