Job 31:10-18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

10. let my wife grind for another, and let other men kneel over her,

11. for that is a shameful act, and that is a criminal offense.

12. Indeed, that is a fire that will consume up to Abaddon, and it would uproot all my crop.

13. “If I have rejected my male or female slave’s case when their complaint was against me,

14. then what shall I do when God rises up? And when he enquires, how shall I answer him?

15. Did not he who made me in the womb make them? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

16. “If I have withheld the desire of the poor from them, or I have caused the widow’s eyes to fail,

17. or I have eaten my morsel alone, and the orphan has not eaten from it

18. (for from my childhood he grew up with me like a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided her),
