Job 31:7-17 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. If my steps have turned aside from the way, and my heart has walked after my eyes, and my hand has clung to a spot,

8. let me sow, and let another eat, and let my crops be rooted out.

9. “If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and at my neighbor’s doorway I have lain in wait,

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
