Dual Panel1I made <03772> (8804) a covenant <01285> with mine eyes <05869>_; why then should I think <0995> (8709) upon a maid <01330>_?
2For what portion <02506> of God <0433> [is there] from above <04605>_? and [what] inheritance <05159> of the Almighty <07706> from on high <04791>_?
3[Is] not destruction <0343> to the wicked <05767>_? and a strange <05235> [punishment] to the workers <06466> (8802) of iniquity <0205>_?
4Doth not he see <07200> (8799) my ways <01870>_, and count <05608> (8799) all my steps <06806>_?
5If I have walked <01980> (8804) with vanity <07723>_, or if my foot <07272> hath hasted <02363> (8799) to deceit <04820>_;
6Let me be weighed <08254> (8799) in an even <06664> balance <03976>_, that God <0433> may know <03045> (8799) mine integrity <08538>_. {Let...: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
7If my step <0838> hath turned out <05186> (8799) of the way <01870>_, and mine heart <03820> walked <01980> (8804) after <0310> mine eyes <05869>_, and if any blot <03971> hath cleaved <01692> (8804) to mine hands <03709>_;
8[Then] let me sow <02232> (8799)_, and let another <0312> eat <0398> (8799)_; yea, let my offspring <06631> be rooted out <08327> (8792)_.
9If mine heart <03820> have been deceived <06601> (8738) by a woman <0802>_, or [if] I have laid wait <0693> (8804) at my neighbour's <07453> door <06607>_;
10[Then] let my wife <0802> grind <02912> (8799) unto another <0312>_, and let others <0312> bow down <03766> (8799) upon her.
11For this [is] an heinous crime <02154>_; yea, it [is] an iniquity <05771> [to be punished by] the judges <06414>_.
12For it [is] a fire <0784> [that] consumeth <0398> (8799) to destruction <011>_, and would root out <08327> (8762) all mine increase <08393>_.
13If I did despise <03988> (8799) the cause <04941> of my manservant <05650> or of my maidservant <0519>_, when they contended <07379> with me;
14What then shall I do <06213> (8799) when God <0410> riseth up <06965> (8799)_? and when he visiteth <06485> (8799)_, what shall I answer <07725> (8686) him?
15Did not he that made <06213> (8802) me in the womb <0990> make <06213> (8804) him? and did not one <0259> fashion <03559> (8787) us in the womb <07358>_? {did not one...: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
16If I have withheld <04513> (8799) the poor <01800> from [their] desire <02656>_, or have caused the eyes <05869> of the widow <0490> to fail <03615> (8762)_;
17Or have eaten <0398> (8799) my morsel <06595> myself alone, and the fatherless <03490> hath not eaten <0398> (8804) thereof;
18(For from my youth <05271> he was brought up <01431> (8804) with me, as [with] a father <01>_, and I have guided <05148> (8686) her from my mother's <0517> womb <0990>;) {her: that is, the widow}
19If I have seen <07200> (8799) any perish <06> (8802) for want of clothing <03830>_, or any poor <034> without covering <03682>_;
20If his loins <02504> have not blessed <01288> (8765) me, and [if] he were [not] warmed <02552> (8691) with the fleece <01488> of my sheep <03532>_;
21If I have lifted up <05130> (8689) my hand <03027> against the fatherless <03490>_, when I saw <07200> (8799) my help <05833> in the gate <08179>_:
22[Then] let mine arm <03802> fall <05307> (8799) from my shoulder blade <07929>_, and mine arm <0248> be broken <07665> (8735) from the bone <07070>_. {bone: or, chanelbone}
23For destruction <0343> [from] God <0410> [was] a terror <06343> to me, and by reason of his highness <07613> I could <03201> (8799) not endure.
24If I have made <07760> (8804) gold <02091> my hope <03689>_, or have said <0559> (8804) to the fine gold <03800>_, [Thou art] my confidence <04009>_;
25If I rejoiced <08055> (8799) because my wealth <02428> [was] great <07227>_, and because mine hand <03027> had gotten <04672> (8804) much <03524>_; {gotten...: Heb. found much}
26If I beheld <07200> (8799) the sun <0216> when it shined <01984> (8686)_, or the moon <03394> walking <01980> (8802) [in] brightness <03368>_; {sun: Heb. light} {in...: Heb. bright}
27And my heart <03820> hath been secretly <05643> enticed <06601> (8799)_, or my mouth <06310> hath kissed <05401> (8799) my hand <03027>_: {my mouth...: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
28This also [were] an iniquity <05771> [to be punished by] the judge <06416>_: for I should have denied <03584> (8765) the God <0410> [that is] above <04605>_.
29If I rejoiced <08055> (8799) at the destruction <06365> of him that hated <08130> (8764) me, or lifted up <05782> (8712) myself when evil <07451> found <04672> (8804) him:
30Neither have I suffered <05414> (8804) my mouth <02441> to sin <02398> (8800) by wishing <07592> (8800) a curse <0423> to his soul <05315>_. {mouth: Heb. palate}
31If the men <04962> of my tabernacle <0168> said <0559> (8804) not, Oh that we had <05414> (8799) of his flesh <01320>_! we cannot be satisfied <07646> (8799)_.
32The stranger <01616> did not lodge <03885> (8799) in the street <02351>_: [but] I opened <06605> (8799) my doors <01817> to the traveller <0734>_. {traveller: or, way}
33If I covered <03680> (8765) my transgressions <06588> as Adam <0121>_, by hiding <02934> (8800) mine iniquity <05771> in my bosom <02243>_: {as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
34Did I fear <06206> (8799) a great <07227> multitude <01995>_, or did the contempt <0937> of families <04940> terrify <02865> (8686) me, that I kept silence <01826> (8799)_, [and] went not out <03318> (8799) of the door <06607>_?
35Oh that <05414> (8799) one would hear <08085> (8802) me! behold, my desire <08420> [is, that] the Almighty <07706> would answer <06030> (8799) me, and [that] mine adversary <0376> <07379> had written <03789> (8804) a book <05612>_. {my...: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
36Surely I would take <05375> (8799) it upon my shoulder <07926>_, [and] bind <06029> (8799) it [as] a crown <05850> to me.
37I would declare <05046> (8686) unto him the number <04557> of my steps <06806>_; as a prince <05057> would I go near <07126> (8762) unto him.
38If my land <0127> cry <02199> (8799) against me, or that the furrows <08525> likewise <03162> thereof complain <01058> (8799)_; {complain: Heb. weep}
39If I have eaten <0398> (8804) the fruits <03581> thereof without money <03701>_, or have caused the owners <01167> thereof to lose <05301> (8689) their life <05315>_: {fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners...: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
40Let thistles <02336> grow <03318> (8799) instead of wheat <02406>_, and cockle <0890> instead of barley <08184>_. The words <01697> of Job <0347> are ended <08552> (8804)_. {cockle: or, noisome weeds}
