New Testament

Job 31:2-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

2. For what portion of God is there from above?And what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

3. Does not destruction belong to the wicked,and calamity to the workers of iniquity?

4. Does He not see my ways,and count all my steps?

5. “If I have walked in vanity,or if my foot has hurried after deceit,

6. let me be weighed in an even balancethat God may know my integrity.

7. If my step has turned out of the path,and my heart has gone after my eyes,and if any spot has clung to my hands,

8. then let me sow, but let another eat;yes, let my offspring be rooted out.

9. “If my heart has been deceived by a woman,or if I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,

10. then let my wife grind for another,and let others bow down over her.

11. For this is a heinous crime;yes, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.

12. For it is a fire that consumes to destructionand would root out all my increase.

13. “If I have despised the cause of my male or female servantwhen they complained against me,

14. what then will I do when God rises up?And when He visits, what will I answer Him?
