Job 31:8-18 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

8. Let me sow--and another eat, And my products let be rooted out.

9. If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening of my neighbour I laid wait,

10. Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others bend.

11. For it [is] a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity;

12. For a fire it [is], to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,

13. If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,

14. Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?

15. Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.

16. If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the widow do consume,

17. And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,

18. (But from my youth He grew up with me as [with] a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)
