"I made a covenant with my eyes, so how could I look closely upon a virgin?

An alien has not lodged in the street; I have opened my door to the traveler.

{Have I concealed} my transgressions as [other] human beings to hide my iniquity in my bosom

I would give him an account of my steps; I would approach him like a noble.

If my land has cried out against me, and its furrows have wept together,

because I dreaded [the] great multitude, and [the] contempt of clans terrified me, so that I kept quiet, I did not go out of [the] doorway?

{O that} {I had} someone hearing me! Here is my signature; let Shaddai answer me! {As for} [the] written communication [that] {my adversary} has written,

Did not he [who] made me in the womb make them? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

if I looked at [the] sun when it shone or [at the] moon moving [in] splendor,

let thorns grow in place of wheat and noxious weeds in place of barley." The words of Job are ended.

"If I have rejected my male or female slave's case when their complaint [was] against me,

I would {surely} carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me [like] a crown.

"If I have made gold my trust, or I have called fine gold my security,

"If I have withheld [the] desire of [the] poor from [them], or I have caused [the] widow's eyes to fail,

if I have eaten its yield without payment, or I have caused [the] breath of its owners to die,

"If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and at my neighbor's doorway I have lain in wait,

And what [is] the portion of God from above or the heritage of Shaddai from on high?

Does he not see my ways and count all my steps?

"If I have rejoiced at [the] ruin of [the one who] hated me or have exulted when evil overtook him--

let him weigh me in [the] balance of justice, and let God know my blamelessness.

Indeed, that [is] a fire that will consume up to Abaddon, and it would uproot all my crop.

no, I have not allowed my mouth to sin, to ask his life with a curse.

if his loins have not blessed me, or by means of my sheep's fleece he has warmed himself,

then what shall I do when God rises up? And when he enquires, how shall I answer him?

or I have eaten my morsel {alone}, and [the] orphan has not eaten from it

"If I have walked with falseness, and my foot has hastened to deceit,

If my steps have turned aside from the way, and my heart has walked after my eyes, and my hand has clung to a spot,

if I have rejoiced because my wealth [was] great or because my hand found a fortune,

and {I was secretly enticed}, and {my hand threw them a kiss},

for that [is] a shameful act, and that [is] {a criminal offense}.

let my wife grind for another, and let other [men] kneel over her,

if I have seen [the one who] perishes because of no clothing or [that] there is no covering for the poor,

Indeed, the disaster from God [was] a dread for me, and {I was powerless} because of his majesty.

Is not disaster for [the] evil one and ruin for [the] workers of mischief?

[then] let my shoulder blade fall from [my] shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.

if I have raised my hand against an orphan because I saw my supporters at the gate,

(for from my childhood he {grew up with} me like a father, and from my mother's womb I guided her),

{Have the people of my tent not said}, '{O that} someone had not been satisfied with his meat'?

this also [is] an iniquity [to be] judged, for I have deceived God above.

let me sow, and let another eat, and let my crops be rooted out.
