Job 31
1 I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?
A covenant I made to eyes my and what? will I look carefully on a virgin.
2 For what is God's reward from on high, or the heritage given by the Ruler of all from heaven?
And what? - [is] [the] portion of God above and [the] inheritance of [the] Almighty from high places.
3 Is it not trouble for the sinner, and destruction for the evil-doers?
¿ Not [does] calamity [belong] to an evil-doer and misfortune to [those who] do wickedness.
4 Does he not see my ways, and are not my steps all numbered?
¿ Not he does he see ways my and all steps my does he count?
5 If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;
If I have walked with falsehood and it has made haste to deceit foot my.
6 (Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness: )
Let him weigh me in balances of righteousness and let him acknowledge God integrity my.
7 If my steps have been turned out of the way, or if my heart went after my eyes, or if the property of another is in my hands;
If it turned aside step my from the way and after eyes my it has gone heart my and to hands my it has stuck a blemish.
8 Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.
Let me sow and another let him eat and produce my let them be rooted up.
9 If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;
If it has been deceived heart my on a woman and at [the] doorway of neighbor my I have lain in wait.
10 Then let my wife give pleasure to another man and let others make use of her body.
Let her grind for another wife my and over her let them bow down! others.
11 For that would be a crime; it would be an act for which punishment would be measured out by the judges:
For (that *Q(K)*) [is] wickedness (and that *Q(k)*) [is] iniquity judges.
12 It would be a fire burning even to destruction, and taking away all my produce.
For [is] a fire that [which] to Abaddon it will devour and all produce my it will root up.
13 If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;
If I rejected [the] cause of male servant my and female servant my in complaint their with me.
14 What then will I do when God comes as my judge? and what answer may I give to his questions?
And what? will I do if he will arise God and if he will visit what? will I respond to him.
15 Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?
¿ Not in the belly [the one who] made me did he make him and did prepare us? he in the womb one.
16 If I kept back the desire of the poor; if the widow's eye was looking for help to no purpose;
If I withheld any of [the] desire of poor [people] and [the] eyes of a widow I caused to fail.
17 If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;
And I may eat morsel of bread my to alone me and not he ate a fatherless one some of it.
18 (For I was cared for by God as by a father from my earliest days; he was my guide from the body of my mother; )
For since youth my he grew up with me like a father and from [the] womb of mother my I guided her.
19 If I saw one near to death for need of clothing, and that the poor had nothing covering him;
If I saw [one who] was perishing because not clothing and not covering [belonged] to the needy [person].
20 If his back did not give me a blessing, and the wool of my sheep did not make him warm;
If not they blessed me (loins his *Q(K)*) and from [the] fleece of lambs my he warmed himself.
21 If my hand had been lifted up against him who had done no wrong, when I saw that I was supported by the judges;
If I brandished on a fatherless one hand my for I saw in the gate help my.
22 May my arm be pulled from my body, and be broken from its base.
Shoulder my from its shoulder let it fall and arm my from arm its let it be broken.
23 For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.
For [was] a fear to me calamity of God and from majesty his not I am able.
24 If I made gold my hope, or if I ever said to the best gold, I have put my faith in you;
If I have made gold confidence my and to pure gold I have said security my.
25 If I was glad because my wealth was great, and because my hand had got together a great store;
If I rejoiced for [was] great wealth my and for much it had found hand my.
26 If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,
If I saw a light that it shone and [the] moon splendid [was] going.
27 A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;
And it was gullible in secrecy heart my and it kissed hand my mouth my.
28 That would have been another sin to be rewarded with punishment by the judges; for I would have been false to God on high.
Also that [is] iniquity calling for judgment for I denied God above.
29 If I was glad at the trouble of my hater, and gave cries of joy when evil overtook him;
If I rejoiced in [the] disaster of [one who] hated me and I excited myself if it had found him calamity.
30 (For I did not let my mouth give way to sin, in putting a curse on his life; )
And not I have permitted to sin palate my by asking for by a curse life his.
31 If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?
If not they have said [the] men of tent my who? will he give from meat his not [one who] is satisfied.
32 The traveller did not take his night's rest in the street, and my doors were open to anyone on a journey;
In the street not he passed [the] night a sojourner doors my to the path I opened.
33 If I kept my evil doings covered, and my sin in the secret of my breast,
If I have concealed like Adam transgressions my by hiding in bosom my iniquity my.
34 For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;
For I feared - a multitude great and [the] contempt of clans it caused to be dismayed me and I was silent not I went outside [the] door.
35 If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!
Who? will he give [will belong] to me - [one who] listens to me here! mark my [the] Almighty let him answer me and a document [which] he had written [the] person of case my.
36 Truly I would take up the book in my hands; it would be to me as a crown;
If not on shoulder my I will carry it I will tie on it a crown to myself.
37 I would make clear the number of my steps, I would put it before him like a prince! The words of Job are ended.
[the] number of Steps my I will tell to him like a chief I will approach him.
38 If my land has made an outcry against me, or the ploughed earth has been in sorrow;
If on me land my it cried out and together furrows its they wept!
39 If I have taken its produce without payment, causing the death of its owners;
If produce its I have eaten not money and [the] life of owners its I have caused to breathe out.
40 Then in place of grain let thorns come up, and in place of barley evil-smelling plants.
In place of wheat - let it come forth thorn[s] and in place of barley foul weed[s] they are finished [the] words of Job.
