| 
                         1 I MADE a vow with my eyes that I would never lust after a virgin.  | 
| 
                         2 For what portion would I have then from God who is above, and what heritage from the Almighty who is on high?  | 
| 
                         3 For it is destruction to the wicked, and punishment to the workers of iniquity.  | 
| 
                         4 He sees my ways, and counts all my steps.  | 
| 
                         5 If I have walked with hypocrites, or if my foot hastened to deceit;  | 
| 
                         6 Let me be weighed in a just balance, that God may know my integrity.  | 
| 
                         7 I have not turned aside my steps from the way, and my heart has not followed after my eyes, and I have acquired nothing unjustly;  | 
| 
                         8 But when I sowed, then I ate, and when I planted, then I cultivated and gathered the crops.  | 
| 
                         9 And if my heart has been enticed by a strange woman, or if I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door;  | 
| 
                         10 Then let my wife grind for another, and let her bake bread at another man's place,  | 
| 
                         11 For this is a heinous crime; yea, such an eye devises a crafty scheme.  | 
| 
                         12 For passion is a fire that consumes to destruction, and it would root out all my increase.  | 
| 
                         13 If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when he contended with me,  | 
| 
                         14 Without saying, What then shall I do when God rises up in judgment, and when he inquires, what shall I answer him?  | 
| 
                         15 (For, behold, he who made me in the womb made him, and he created us in the same womb);  | 
| 
                         16 If I have withheld the poor from his desire, or have defrauded the widow,  | 
| 
                         17 Or have eaten my bread alone, and the orphans did not eat of it  | 
| 
                         18 (Because from my youth I was brought up in sorrows, and from my mother's womb with sighing);  | 
| 
                         19 If I have seen anyone perishing for want of clothing, or any poor without covering  | 
| 
                         20 (But they were reared upon my knees, and were warmed with the fleece of my sheep);  | 
| 
                         21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless (when I saw him at the door I helped him);  | 
| 
                         22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder blade, and let it be broken from the bone.  | 
| 
                         23 For the fear of God made me to tremble, and affliction from him came upon me, and because of terror I was unable to rise up.  | 
| 
                         24 If I have made gold my trust, or said about the precious stones, You are my confidence; or have said about fine gold, You are my hope;  | 
| 
                         25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;  | 
| 
                         26 If I have adored the sun when it shone, or the moon when in full brightness;  | 
| 
                         27 And if my heart has been secretly enticed, if I have consented to wrongdoings;  | 
| 
                         28 Then God has seen my crafty ways, and I have lied before him.  | 
| 
                         29 If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or exulted myself when misfortune befell him;  | 
| 
                         30 (But I have neither suffered my mouth to sin, nor has my soul wished for any of these things;  | 
| 
                         31 My friends said, Oh this man would give us even of his own flesh! but we are not satisfied,  | 
| 
                         32 And the stranger I did not let lodge in the street, and I opened my door to the guest);  | 
| 
                         33 If I have covered up my sins like some men, or if I have hid my guilt in secret places;  | 
| 
                         34 If I have trampled upon the rights of the others (but on the contrary, it is the multitude of families which has ruined me. Nor have I turned away anyone at the door; or engaged in gossip) let the provocations of God lay me low!  | 
| 
                         35 O that one would hear me! If God is present, let him answer me, and let him write the sentence in a book.  | 
| 
                         36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and make it a crown to me.  | 
| 
                         37 I would declare to him the number of my steps; as a prince I would go near to him.  | 
| 
                         38 Let the earth lament over me, let its furrows weep together,  | 
| 
                         39 If I have eaten its fruits without money; or if I have grieved one whose life is bitter,  | 
| 
                         40 Then let thistles grow instead of wheat and thorns instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.  |
