31:1

A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to a virgin?
31:2

And what [is] the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?
31:3

Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?

If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit,

31:13

If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,
31:14

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

And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,
31:18

(But from my youth He grew up with me as [with] a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)
31:19

If I see [any] perishing without clothing, And there is no covering to the needy,
31:20

If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself,
31:21

If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in [him] the gate of my court,
31:22

My shoulder from its blade let fall, And mine arm from the bone be broken.
31:23

For a dread unto me [is] calamity [from] God, And because of His excellency I am not able.
31:24

If I have made gold my confidence, And to the pure gold have said, `My trust,`
31:25

If I rejoice because great [is] my wealth, And because abundance hath my hand found,
31:26

If I see the light when it shineth, And the precious moon walking,
31:27

And my heart is enticed in secret, And my hand doth kiss my mouth,
31:28

It also [is] a judicial iniquity, For I had lied to God above.

In the street doth not lodge a stranger, My doors to the traveller I open.

31:34

Because I fear a great multitude, And the contempt of families doth affright me, Then I am silent, I go not out of the opening.
31:35

Who giveth to me a hearing? lo, my mark. The Mighty One doth answer me, And a bill hath mine adversary written.

If not -- on my shoulder I take it up, I bind it a crown on myself.

The number of my steps I tell Him, As a leader I approach Him.

If against me my land doth cry out, And together its furrows weep,
31:39

If its strength I consumed without money, And the life of its possessors, I have caused to breathe out,

Instead of wheat let a thorn go forth, And instead of barley a useless weed! The words of Job are finished.
