Job 31:17-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
17
Or have eaten my morsel alone,
And the orphan has not shared it
18
(But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,
And from my infancy I guided her),
19
If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or that the needy had no covering,
20
If his waist has not thanked me,
And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21
If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan,
Because I saw I had support in the gate,
22
May my shoulder fall from
its
socket,
And my arm be broken off at the elbow.
23
For disaster from God is a terror to me,
And because of His majesty I can do nothing.
24
'If I have put my confidence
in
gold,
And called fine gold my trust,
25
If I have gloated because my wealth was great,
And because my hand had obtained
so
much;
26
If I have looked at the sun when it shone,
Or the moon going in splendor,
27
And my heart was secretly enticed,
And my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,
28
That too would have been a guilty deed
calling for
judgment,
For I would have denied God above.
29
'Have I rejoiced at the misfortune of my enemy,
Or become excited when evil found him?
30
No, I have not allowed my mouth to sin
By asking for his life in a curse.
King James Version
Chapter 31
17
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
19
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20
If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23
For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25
If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26
If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29
If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30
Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 31
17
if I have eaten my few crumbs alone
without letting the fatherless eat any of it—
18
for from my youth, I raised him as his father,
and since the day I was born I guided the widow—
19
if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing
or a needy person without a cloak,
20
if he did not bless me
while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,
21
if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child
when I saw that I had support in the city gate,
22
then let my shoulder blade fall from my back,
and my arm be pulled from its socket.
23
For disaster from God terrifies me,
and because of his majesty I could not do these things.
24
If I placed my confidence in gold
or called fine gold my trust,
25
if I have rejoiced because my wealth is great
or because my own hand has acquired so much,
26
if I have gazed at the sun when it was shining
or at the moon moving in splendor,
27
so that my heart was secretly enticed
and I threw them a kiss,
28
this would also be an iniquity deserving punishment,
for I would have denied God above.
29
Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress,
or become excited when trouble came his way?
30
I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by asking for his life with a curse.
New Living Translation
Chapter 31
17
Have I been stingy with my food
and refused to share it with orphans?
18
No, from childhood I have cared for orphans like a father,
and all my life I have cared for widows.
19
Whenever I saw the homeless without clothes
and the needy with nothing to wear,
20
did they not praise me
for providing wool clothing to keep them warm?
21
'If I raised my hand against an orphan,
knowing the judges would take my side,
22
then let my shoulder be wrenched out of place!
Let my arm be torn from its socket!
23
That would be better than facing God’s judgment.
For if the majesty of God opposes me, what hope is there?
24
'Have I put my trust in money
or felt secure because of my gold?
25
Have I gloated about my wealth
and all that I own?
26
'Have I looked at the sun shining in the skies,
or the moon walking down its silver pathway,
27
and been secretly enticed in my heart
to throw kisses at them in worship?
28
If so, I should be punished by the judges,
for it would mean I had denied the God of heaven.
29
'Have I ever rejoiced when disaster struck my enemies,
or become excited when harm came their way?
30
No, I have never sinned by cursing anyone
or by asking for revenge.
English Standard Version
Chapter 31
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),
New International Version
Chapter 31
17
if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless—
18
but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow—
19
if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,
or the needy without garments,
20
and their hearts did not bless me
for warming them with the fleece from my sheep,
21
if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,
knowing that I had influence in court,
22
then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.
23
For I dreaded destruction from God,
and for fear of his splendor I could not do such things.
24
"If I have put my trust in gold
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’
25
if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,
the fortune my hands had gained,
26
if I have regarded the sun in its radiance
or the moon moving in splendor,
27
so that my heart was secretly enticed
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,
28
then these also would be sins to be judged,
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.
29
"If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune
or gloated over the trouble that came to him—
30
I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life—
New King James Version
Chapter 31
17
Or eaten my morsel by myself,
So that the fatherless could not eat of it
18
(But from my youth I reared him as a father,
And from my mother’s womb I guided
the widow
);
19
If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or any poor
man
without covering;
20
If his heart 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,
When I saw I had help in the gate;
22
Then
let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.
23
For destruction
from
God
is
a terror to me,
And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.
24
“If I have made gold my hope,
Or said to fine gold, ‘
You are
my confidence’;
25
If I have rejoiced because my wealth
was
great,
And because my hand had gained much;
26
If I have observed the sun when it shines,
Or the moon moving
in
brightness,
27
So that my heart has been secretly enticed,
And my mouth has kissed my hand;
28
This also
would be
an iniquity
deserving of
judgment,
For I would have denied God
who is
above.
29
“If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me,
Or lifted myself up when evil found him
30
(Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin
By asking for a curse on his soul);
