| 1 |
I made 3772-1 a covenant 1285 with mine eyes; 5869 why then should I think 995-113 upon a maid? 1330 |
| 2 |
For what portion 2506 of God 433 [is there] from above? 4605 and [what] inheritance 5159 of the Almighty 7706 from on high? 4791 |
| 3 |
[Is] not destruction 343 to the wicked? 5767 and a strange 5235 [punishment] to the workers 6466-6 of iniquity? 205 |
| 4 |
Doth not he see 7200-4 my ways, 1870 and count 5608-4 all my steps? 6806 |
| 5 |
If I have walked 1980-1 with vanity, 7723 or if my foot 7272 hath hasted 2363-4 to deceit; 4820 |
| 6 |
Let me be weighed 8254-4 in an even 6664 balance, 3976 that God 433 may know 3045-4 mine integrity. 8538 |
| 7 |
If my step 838 hath turned 5186-4 out of the way, 1870 and mine heart 3820 walked 1980-1 after 310 mine eyes, 5869 and if any blot 3971 hath cleaved 1692-1 to mine hands; 3709 |
| 8 |
[Then] let me sow, 2232-4 and let another 312 eat; 398-4 yea, let my offspring 6631 be rooted out. 8327-29 |
| 9 |
If mine heart 3820 have been deceived 6601-8 by a woman, 802 or [if] I have laid wait 693-1 at my neighbour's 7453 door; 6607 |
| 10 |
[Then] let my wife 802 grind 2912-4 unto another, 312 and let others 312 bow down 3766-4 upon her. |
| 11 |
For this [is] an heinous crime; 2154 yea, it [is] an iniquity 5771 [to be punished by] the judges. 6414 |
| 12 |
For it [is] a fire 784 [that] consumeth 398-4 to destruction, 11 and would root out 8327-17 all mine increase. 8393 |
| 13 |
If I did despise 3988-4 the cause 4941 of my manservant 5650 or of my maidservant, 519 when they contended 7379 with me; |
| 14 |
What then shall I do 6213-4 when God 410 riseth up? 6965-4 and when he visiteth, 6485-4 what shall I answer 7725-55 him? |
| 15 |
Did not he that made 6213-6 me in the womb 990 make 6213-1 him? and did not one 259 fashion 3559-34 us in the womb? 7358 |
| 16 |
If I have withheld 4513-4 the poor 1800 from [their] desire, 2656 or have caused the eyes 5869 of the widow 490 to fail; 3615-17 |
| 17 |
Or have eaten 398-4 my morsel 6595 myself alone, and the fatherless 3490 hath not eaten 398-1 thereof; |
| 18 |
(For from my youth 5271 he was brought up 1431-1 with me, as [with] a father, 1 and I have guided 5148-55 her from my mother's 517 womb;) 990 |
| 19 |
If I have seen 7200-4 any perish 6-6 for want of clothing, 3830 or any poor 34 without covering; 3682 |
| 20 |
If his loins 2504 have not blessed 1288-14 me, and [if] he were [not] warmed 2552-101 with the fleece 1488 of my sheep; 3532 |
| 21 |
If I have lifted up 5130-52 my hand 3027 against the fatherless, 3490 when I saw 7200-4 my help 5833 in the gate: 8179 |
| 22 |
[Then] let mine arm 3802 fall 5307-4 from my shoulder blade, 7929 and mine arm 248 be broken 7665-11 from the bone. 7070 |
| 23 |
For destruction 343 [from] God 410 [was] a terror 6343 to me, and by reason of his highness 7613 I could 3201-4 not endure. |
| 24 |
If I have made 7760-1 gold 2091 my hope, 3689 or have said 559-1 to the fine gold, 3800 [Thou art] my confidence; 4009 |
| 25 |
If I rejoiced 8055-4 because my wealth 2428 [was] great, 7227 and because mine hand 3027 had gotten 4672-1 much; 3524 |
| 26 |
If I beheld 7200-4 the sun 216 when it shined, 1984-55 or the moon 3394 walking 1980-6 [in] brightness; 3368 |
| 27 |
And my heart 3820 hath been secretly 5643 enticed, 6601-4 or my mouth 6310 hath kissed 5401-4 my hand: 3027 |
| 28 |
This also [were] an iniquity 5771 [to be punished by] the judge: 6416 for I should have denied 3584-14 the God 410 [that is] above. 4605 |
| 29 |
If I rejoiced 8055-4 at the destruction 6365 of him that hated 8130-18 me, or lifted up 5782-110 myself when evil 7451 found 4672-1 him: |
| 30 |
Neither have I suffered 5414-1 my mouth 2441 to sin 2398-2 by wishing 7592-2 a curse 423 to his soul. 5315 |
| 31 |
If the men 4962 of my tabernacle 168 said 559-1 not, Oh that 5414-4 we had of his flesh! 1320 we cannot be satisfied. 7646-4 |
| 32 |
The stranger 1616 did not lodge 3885-4 in the street: 2351 [but] I opened 6605-4 my doors 1817 to the traveller. 734 |
| 33 |
If I covered 3680-14 my transgressions 6588 as Adam, 120 by hiding 2934-2 mine iniquity 5771 in my bosom: 2243 |
| 34 |
Did I fear 6206-4 a great 7227 multitude, 1995 or did the contempt 937 of families 4940 terrify 2865-55 me, that I kept silence, 1826-4 [and] went not out 3318-4 of the door? 6607 |
| 35 |
Oh that 5414-4 one would hear 8085-6 me! behold, my desire 8420 [is, that] the Almighty 7706 would answer 6030-4 me, and [that] mine adversary 376 7379 had written 3789-1 a book. 5612 |
| 36 |
Surely I would take 5375-4 it upon my shoulder, 7926 [and] bind 6029-4 it [as] a crown 5850 to me. |
| 37 |
I would declare 5046-55 unto him the number 4557 of my steps; 6806 as a prince 5057 would I go near 7126-17 unto him. |
| 38 |
If my land 127 cry 2199-4 against me, or that the furrows 8525 likewise 3162 thereof complain; 1058-4 |
| 39 |
If I have eaten 398-1 the fruits 3581 thereof without money, 3701 or have caused the owners 1167 thereof to lose 5301-52 their life: 5315 |
| 40 |
Let thistles 2336 grow 3318-4 instead of wheat, 2406 and cockle 890 instead of barley. 8184 The words 1697 of Job 347 are ended. 8552-1 |
