Job 31
1 I reached an agreement with my eyes, that I would not so much as think about a virgin.
A covenant I made to eyes my and what? will I look carefully on a virgin.
2 For what portion should God from above hold for me, and what inheritance should the Almighty from on high keep?
And what? - [is] [the] portion of God above and [the] inheritance of [the] Almighty from high places.
3 Is not destruction held for the wicked and repudiation kept for those who work injustice?
¿ Not [does] calamity [belong] to an evil-doer and misfortune to [those who] do wickedness.
4 Does he not examine my ways and number all my steps?
¿ Not he does he see ways my and all steps my does he count?
5 If I have walked in vanity, or if my foot has hurried towards deceitfulness,
If I have walked with falsehood and it has made haste to deceit foot my.
6 let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
Let him weigh me in balances of righteousness and let him acknowledge God integrity my.
7 If my steps have turned aside from the way, or if my heart has followed my eyes, or if a blemish has clung to 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 then may I sow, and let another consume, and let my offspring be eradicated.
Let me sow and another let him eat and produce my let them be rooted up.
9 If my heart has been deceived over a woman, or if I have waited in ambush at my friend’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 be the harlot of another, and let other men lean over her.
Let her grind for another wife my and over her let them bow down! others.
11 For this is a crime and a very great injustice.
For (that *Q(K)*) [is] wickedness (and that *Q(k)*) [is] iniquity judges.
12 It is a fire devouring all the way to perdition, and it roots out all that springs forth.
For [is] a fire that [which] to Abaddon it will devour and all produce my it will root up.
13 If I have despised being subject to judgment with my servant or my maid, when they had any complaint against me,
If I rejected [the] cause of male servant my and female servant my in complaint their with me.
14 then what will I do when God rises to judge, and, when he inquires, how will I respond to him?
And what? will I do if he will arise God and if he will visit what? will I respond to him.
15 Is not he who created me in the womb, also he who labored to make him? And did not one and the same form me in the womb?
¿ 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 have denied the poor what they wanted and have made the eyes of the widow wait;
If I withheld any of [the] desire of poor [people] and [the] eyes of a widow I caused to fail.
17 if I have eaten my morsel of food alone, while orphans have not eaten from it;
And I may eat morsel of bread my to alone me and not he ate a fatherless one some of it.
18 (for from my infancy mercy grew with me, and it came out with me from my mother’s womb; )
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 have looked down on him who was perishing because he had no clothing and the poor without any covering,
If I saw [one who] was perishing because not clothing and not covering [belonged] to the needy [person].
20 if his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
If not they blessed me (loins his *Q(K)*) and from [the] fleece of lambs my he warmed himself.
21 if I have lifted up my hand over an orphan, even when it might seem to me that I have the advantage over him at the gate;
If I brandished on a fatherless one hand my for I saw in the gate help my.
22 then may my shoulder fall from its joint, and may my arm, with all its bones, be broken.
Shoulder my from its shoulder let it fall and arm my from arm its let it be broken.
23 For I have always feared God, like waves flowing over me, whose weight I was unable to bear.
For [was] a fear to me calamity of God and from majesty his not I am able.
24 If I have considered gold to be my strength, or if I have called purified gold ‘my Trust;’
If I have made gold confidence my and to pure gold I have said security my.
25 if I have rejoiced over my great success, and over the many things my hand has obtained;
If I rejoiced for [was] great wealth my and for much it had found hand my.
26 if I gazed upon the sun when it shined and the moon advancing brightly,
If I saw a light that it shone and [the] moon splendid [was] going.
27 so that my heart rejoiced in secret and I kissed my hand with my mouth,
And it was gullible in secrecy heart my and it kissed hand my mouth my.
28 which is a very great iniquity and a denial against the most high God;
Also that [is] iniquity calling for judgment for I denied God above.
29 if I have been glad at the ruin of him who hated me and have exulted that evil found 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 have not been given my throat to sin by asking for a curse on his soul;
And not I have permitted to sin palate my by asking for by a curse life his.
31 if the men around my tabernacle have not said: “He might give us some of his food, so that we will be filled,”
If not they have said [the] men of tent my who? will he give from meat his not [one who] is satisfied.
32 for the foreigner did not remain at the door, my door was open to the traveler;
In the street not he passed [the] night a sojourner doors my to the path I opened.
33 if, as man does, I have hidden my sin and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom;
If I have concealed like Adam transgressions my by hiding in bosom my iniquity my.
34 if I became frightened by an excessive crowd, and the disrespect of close relatives alarmed me, so that I would much rather have remained silent or have gone out the 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 then, would he grant me a hearing, so that the Almighty would listen to my desire, and he who judges would himself write a book,
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 which I would then carry on my shoulder and wrap around me like a crown?
If not on shoulder my I will carry it I will tie on it a crown to myself.
37 With each of my steps, I would pronounce and offer it, as if to a prince.
[the] number of Steps my I will tell to him like a chief I will approach him.
38 So, if my land cries out against me, and if its furrows weep with it,
If on me land my it cried out and together furrows its they wept!
39 if I have used its fruits for nothing but money and have afflicted the souls of its tillers,
If produce its I have eaten not money and [the] life of owners its I have caused to breathe out.
40 then, may thistles spring forth for me instead of grain, and thorns instead of barley. (This ended the words of Job.)
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.
