Job 31:6-22 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

6. Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity.

7. If my step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after my eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to my hands;

8. Then let me sow, and let another eat; yes, let my offspring be rooted out.

9. If my heart hath been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;

10. Then let my wife grind to another, and let others bow down upon her.

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

12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all my increase.

13. If I despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me;

14. What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

16. If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

17. Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten of it;

18. (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

19. If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

20. If his loins have not blessed me, and if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21. If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

22. Then let my arm fall from my shoulder-blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.
