Job 31:8-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
8
Let me sow and another eat,
And let my crops be uprooted.
9
'If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
Or I have lurked at my neighbor’s doorway,
10
May my wife grind
grain
for another,
And let others kneel down over her.
11
For that would be a lustful crime;
Moreover, it would be wrongdoing
punishable by
judges.
12
For it would be fire that consumes to Abaddon,
And would uproot all my increase.
13
'If I have rejected the claim of my male or female slaves
When they filed a complaint against me,
14
What then could I do when God arises?
And when He calls me to account, how am I to answer Him?
15
Did He who made me in the womb not make him,
And the same one create us in the womb?
16
'If I have kept the poor from
their
desire,
Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
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,
King James Version
Chapter 31
8
Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10
Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11
For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12
For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not 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 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:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 31
8
let someone else eat what I have sown,
and let my crops be uprooted.
9
If my heart has gone astray over a woman
or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10
let my own wife grind grain for another man,
and let other men sleep with her.
11
For that would be a disgrace;
it would be an iniquity deserving punishment.
12
For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon;
it would destroy my entire harvest.
13
If I have dismissed the case of my male or female servants
when they made a complaint against me,
14
what could I do when God stands up to judge?
How should I answer him when he calls me to account?
15
Did not the one who made me in the womb also make them?
Did not the same God form us both in the womb?
16
If I have refused the wishes of the poor
or let the widow’s eyes go blind,
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,
New Living Translation
Chapter 31
8
then let someone else eat the crops I have planted.
Let all that I have planted be uprooted.
9
'If my heart has been seduced by a woman,
or if I have lusted for my neighbor’s wife,
10
then let my wife serve another man;
let other men sleep with her.
11
For lust is a shameful sin,
a crime that should be punished.
12
It is a fire that burns all the way to hell.
It would wipe out everything I own.
13
'If I have been unfair to my male or female servants
when they brought their complaints to me,
14
how could I face God?
What could I say when he questioned me?
15
For God created both me and my servants.
He created us both in the womb.
16
'Have I refused to help the poor,
or crushed the hopes of widows?
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,
English Standard Version
Chapter 31
8
then let me sow, and another eat,
and let what grows for me be rooted out.
9
"If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor 's door,
10
then let my wife grind for another,
and let others bow down on her.
11
For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
12
for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon,
and it would burn to the root all my increase.
13
"If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant,
when they brought a complaint against me,
14
what then shall I do when God rises up?
When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
15
Did not he who made me in the womb make him?
And did not one fashion us in the womb?
16
"If I have withheld anything that the poor desired,
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
(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,
New International Version
Chapter 31
8
then may others eat what I have sown,
and may my crops be uprooted.
9
"If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10
then may my wife grind another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.
11
For that would have been wicked,
a sin to be judged.
12
It is a fire that burns to Destruction ;
it would have uprooted my harvest.
13
"If I have denied justice to any of my servants,
whether male or female,
when they had a grievance against me,
14
what will I do when God confronts me?
What will I answer when called to account?
15
Did not he who made me in the womb make them?
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?
16
"If I have denied the desires of the poor
or let the eyes of the widow grow weary,
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,
New King James Version
Chapter 31
8
Then
let me sow, and another eat;
Yes, let my harvest be rooted out.
9
“If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
Or
if
I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10
Then
let my wife grind for another,
And let others bow down over her.
11
For that
would be
wickedness;
Yes, it
would be
iniquity
deserving of
judgment.
12
For that
would be
a fire
that
consumes to destruction,
And would root out all my increase.
13
“If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant
When they complained against me,
14
What then shall I do when God rises up?
When He punishes, how shall I answer Him?
15
Did not He who made me in the womb make them?
Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
16
“If I have kept the poor from
their
desire,
Or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
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;
