Verse
Job - ch 31 v 1 - 20
- A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to a virgin?
- And what `is' the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?
- Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?
- Doth not He see my ways, And all my steps number?
- If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit,
- He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know my integrity.
- If my step doth turn aside from the way, And after mine eyes hath my heart gone, And to my hands cleaved hath blemish,
- Let me sow -- and another eat, And my products let be rooted out.
- If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening of my neighbour I laid wait,
- Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others bend.
- For it `is' a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity;
- For a fire it `is', to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,
- If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,
- Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?
- Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.
- If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the widow do consume,
- And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,
- (But from my youth He grew up with me as `with' a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)
- If I see `any' perishing without clothing, And there is no covering to the needy,
- If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself,
