Job 31

1 covenant to cut: make(covenant) to/for eye my and what? to understand upon virgin

I made a covenant with mine eyes, and I will not think upon a virgin.

2 and what? portion god from above and inheritance Almighty from height

Now what portion has God given from above? and is there an inheritance [given] of the Mighty One from the highest?

3 not calamity to/for unjust and misfortune to/for to work evil: wickedness

Alas! destruction to the unrighteous, and rejection to them that do iniquity.

4 not he/she/it to see: see way: conduct my and all step my to recount

Will he not see my way, and number all my steps?

5 if to go: walk with vanity: false and to hasten upon deceit foot my

But if I had gone with scorners, and if too my foot has hasted to deceit:

6 to weigh me in/on/with balance righteousness and to know god integrity my

(for I am weighed in a just balance, and the Lord knows my innocence: )

7 if to stretch step my from [the] way: conduct and after eye my to go: went heart my and in/on/with palm my to cleave blemish

if my foot has turned aside out of the way, or if mine heart has followed mine eye, and if too I have touched gifts with my hands;

8 to sow and another to eat and offspring my to uproot

then let me sow, and let others eat; and let me be uprooted on the earth.

9 if to entice heart my upon woman and upon entrance neighbor my to ambush

If my heart has gone forth after another man's wife, and if I laid wait at her doors;

10 to grind to/for another woman: wife my and upon her to bow [emph?] another

then let my wife also please another, and let my children be brought low.

11 for (he/she/it *Q(K)*) wickedness (and he/she/it *Q(k)*) iniquity: crime judge

For the rage of anger is not to be controlled, [in the case] of defiling [another] man's wife.

12 for fire he/she/it till Abaddon to eat and in/on/with all produce my to uproot

For it is a fire burning on every side, and whomsoever it attacks, it utterly destroys.

13 if to reject justice servant/slave my and maidservant my in/on/with strife their with me me

And if too I despised the judgment of my servant or [my] handmaid, when they pleaded with me;

14 and what? to make: do for to arise: rise God and for to reckon: visit what? to return: reply him

what then shall I do if the Lord should try me? and if also he should at all visit me, can I make an answer?

15 not in/on/with belly: womb to make me to make him and to establish: make him in/on/with womb one

Were not they too formed as I also was formed in the womb? yea, we were formed in the same womb.

16 if to withhold from pleasure poor and eye widow to end: expend

But the helpless missed not whatever need they had, and I did not cause the eye of the widow to fail.

17 and to eat morsel my to/for alone me and not to eat orphan from her

And if too I ate my morsel alone, and did not impart [of it] to the orphan;

18 for from youth my to magnify me like/as father and from belly: womb mother my to lead her

(for I nourished [them] as a father from my youth and guided [them] from my mother's womb.)

19 if to see: see to perish from without clothing and nothing covering to/for needy

And if too I overlooked the naked as he was perishing, and did not clothe him;

20 if not to bless me (loin his *Q(K)*) and from fleece lamb my to warm

and if the poor did not bless me, and their shoulders were [not] warmed with the fleece of my lambs;

21 if to wave upon orphan hand: power my for to see: see in/on/with gate help my

if I lifted my hand against an orphan, trusting that my strength was far superior [to his]:

22 shoulder my from shoulder [to] to fall: fall and arm my from branch: shoulder her to break

let them my shoulder start from the blade-bone, and my arm be crushed off from the elbow.

23 for dread to(wards) me calamity God and from elevation his not be able

For the fear of the Lord constrained me, and I cannot bear up by reason of his burden.

24 if to set: make gold loin my and to/for gold to say confidence my

If I made gold my treasure, and if too I trusted the precious stone;

25 if to rejoice for many strength: rich my and for mighty to find hand my

and if too I rejoiced when my wealth was abundant, and if too I laid my hand on innumerable [treasures]:

26 if to see: see light for to shine and moon precious to go: walk

(do we not see the shining sun eclipsed, and the moon waning? for they have not [power to continue]: )

27 and to entice in/on/with secrecy heart my and to kiss hand my to/for lip my

and if my heart was secretly deceived, and if I have laid my hand upon my mouth and kissed it:

28 also he/she/it iniquity: crime judge for to deceive to/for God from above

let this also then be reckoned to me as the greatest iniquity: for I [should] have lied against the Lord Most High.

29 if to rejoice in/on/with disaster to hate me and to rouse for to find him bad: evil

And if too I was glad at the fall of mine enemies, and mine heart said, Aha!

30 and not to give: allow to/for to sin palate my to/for to ask in/on/with oath soul: life his

let then mine ear hear my curse, and let me be a byword among my people in my affliction.

31 if not to say man tent my who? to give: allow from flesh his not to satisfy

And if too my handmaids have often said, Oh that we might be satisfied with his flesh; (whereas I was very kind:

32 in/on/with outside not to lodge sojourner door my to/for way to open

for the stranger did not lodge without, and my door was opened to every one that came: )

33 if to cover like/as Adam transgression my to/for to hide in/on/with breast my iniquity: crime my

or if too having sinned unintentionally, I hid my sin;

34 for to tremble crowd many and contempt family to to be dismayed me and to silence: silent not to come out: come entrance

(for I did not stand in awe of a great multitude, so as not to declare boldly before them: ) and if too I permitted a poor man to go out of my door with an empty bosom:

35 who? to give: if only! to/for me to hear: hear to/for me look! mark my Almighty to answer me and scroll: document to write man strife my

(Oh that I had a hearer, ) and if I had not feared the hand of the Lord; and [as to] the written charge which I had against any one,

36 if: surely yes not upon shoulder my to lift: bear him to bind him crown to/for me

I would place [it] as a chaplet on my shoulders, and read it.

37 number step my to tell him like leader to present: come him

And if I did not read it and return it, having taken nothing from the debtor:

38 if upon me land: soil my to cry out and unitedness furrow her to weep [emph?]

If at any time the land groaned against me, and if its furrows mourned together;

39 if strength her to eat without silver: money and soul: life master her to breathe

and if I ate its strength alone without price, and if I too grieved the heart of the owner of the soil, by taking [aught] from [him]:

40 underneath: instead wheat to come out: issue thistle and underneath: instead barley foul weed to finish word Job

then let the nettle come up to me instead of wheat, and a bramble instead of barley. And Job ceased speaking.
