Read Bible Book Of Job Chapter 31 In Online
1 - "I Made A Covenant With My Eyes Not To Look Lustfully At A Girl.
2 - For What Is Man's Lot From God Above, His Heritage From The Almighty On High?
3 - Is It Not Ruin For The Wicked, Disaster For Those Who Do Wrong?
4 - Does He Not See My Ways And Count My Every Step?
5 - "If I Have Walked In Falsehood Or My Foot Has Hurried After Deceit-
6 - Let God Weigh Me In Honest Scales And He Will Know That I Am Blameless-
7 - If My Steps Have Turned From The Path, If My Heart Has Been Led By My Eyes, Or If My Hands Have Been Defiled,
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 Shameful, 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 My Menservants And Maidservants 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 Him As Would A Father, And From My Birth I Guided The Widow-
19 - If I Have Seen Anyone Perishing For Lack Of Clothing, Or A Needy Man Without A Garment,
20 - And His Heart Did Not Bless Me For Warming Him 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 His Life-
31 - If The Men Of My Household Have Never Said, 'Who Has Not Had His Fill Of Job's Meat?'-
32 - But No Stranger Had To Spend The Night In The Street, For My Door Was Always Open To The Traveler-
33 - If I Have Concealed My Sin As Men Do, By Hiding My Guilt In My Heart
34 - Because I So Feared The Crowd And So Dreaded The Contempt Of The Clans That I Kept Silent And Would Not Go Outside
35 - ("Oh, That I Had Someone To Hear Me! I Sign Now My Defense-let The Almighty Answer Me; Let My Accuser Put His Indictment In Writing.
36 - Surely I Would Wear It On My Shoulder, I Would Put It On Like A Crown.
37 - I Would Give Him An Account Of My Every Step; Like A Prince I Would Approach Him.)-
38 - "If My Land Cries Out Against Me And All Its Furrows Are Wet With Tears,
39 - If I Have Devoured Its Yield Without Payment Or Broken The Spirit Of Its Tenants,
40 - Then Let Briers Come Up Instead Of Wheat And Weeds Instead Of Barley." The Words Of Job Are Ended.
