1 I made 3772 a covenant 1285 with mine eyes 5869; why then should I think 995 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 of iniquity 205?
4 Doth not he see 7200 my ways 1870, and count 5608 all my steps 6806?
5 If I have walked 1980 with vanity 7723, or if my foot 7272 hath hasted 2363 to deceit 4820;
6 Let me be weighed 8254 in an even 6664 balance 3976, that God 433 may know 3045 mine integrity 8538.
7 If my step 838 hath turned out 5186 of the way 1870, and mine heart 3820 walked 1980 after 310 mine eyes 5869, and if any blot 3971 hath cleaved 1692 to mine hands 3709;
8 Then let me sow 2232, and let another 312 eat 398; yea, let my offspring 6631 be rooted out 8327.
9 If mine heart 3820 have been deceived 6601 by a woman 802, or if I have laid wait 693 at my neighbour's 7453 door 6607;
10 Then let my wife 802 grind 2912 unto another 312, and let others 312 bow down 3766 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 to destruction 11, and would root out 8327 all mine increase 8393.
13 If I did despise 3988 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 when God 410 riseth up 6965? and when he visiteth 6485, what shall I answer 7725 him?
15 Did not he that made 6213 me in the womb 990 make 6213 him? and did not one 259 fashion 3559 us in the womb 7358?
16 If I have withheld 4513 the poor 1800 from their desire 2656, or have caused the eyes 5869 of the widow 490 to fail 3615;
17 Or have eaten 398 my morsel 6595 myself alone, and the fatherless 3490 hath not eaten 398 thereof;
18 (For from my youth 5271 he was brought up 1431 with me, as with a father 1, and I have guided 5148 her from my mother's 517 womb 990;)
19 If I have seen 7200 any perish 6 for want of clothing 3830, or any poor 34 without covering 3682;
20 If his loins 2504 have not blessed 1288 me, and if he were not warmed 2552 with the fleece 1488 of my sheep 3532;
21 If I have lifted up 5130 my hand 3027 against the fatherless 3490, when I saw 7200 my help 5833 in the gate 8179:
22 Then let mine arm 3802 fall 5307 from my shoulder blade 7929, and mine arm 248 be broken 7665 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 not endure.
24 If I have made 7760 gold 2091 my hope 3689, or have said 559 to the fine gold 3800, Thou art my confidence 4009;
25 If I rejoiced 8055 because my wealth 2428 was great 7227, and because mine hand 3027 had gotten 4672 much 3524;
26 If I beheld 7200 the sun 216 when it shined 1984, or the moon 3394 walking 1980 in brightness 3368;
27 And my heart 3820 hath been secretly 5643 enticed 6601, or my mouth 6310 hath kissed 5401 my hand 3027:
28 This also were an iniquity 5771 to be punished by the judge 6416: for I should have denied 3584 the God 410 that is above 4605.
29 If I rejoiced 8055 at the destruction 6365 of him that hated 8130 me, or lifted up 5782 myself when evil 7451 found 4672 him:
30 Neither have I suffered 5414 my mouth 2441 to sin 2398 by wishing 7592 a curse 423 to his soul 5315.
31 If the men 4962 of my tabernacle 168 said 559 not, Oh that we had 5414 of his flesh 1320! we cannot be satisfied 7646.
32 The stranger 1616 did not lodge 3885 in the street 2351: but I opened 6605 my doors 1817 to the traveller 734.
33 If I covered 3680 my transgressions 6588 as Adam 121, by hiding 2934 mine iniquity 5771 in my bosom 2243:
34 Did I fear 6206 a great 7227 multitude 1995, or did the contempt 937 of families 4940 terrify 2865 me, that I kept silence 1826, and went not out 3318 of the door 6607?
35 Oh that 5414 one would hear 8085 me! behold, my desire 8420 is, that the Almighty 7706 would answer 6030 me, and that mine adversary 376 7379 had written 3789 a book 5612.
36 Surely I would take 5375 it upon my shoulder 7926, and bind 6029 it as a crown 5850 to me.
37 I would declare 5046 unto him the number 4557 of my steps 6806; as a prince 5057 would I go near 7126 unto him.
38 If my land 127 cry 2199 against me, or that the furrows 8525 likewise 3162 thereof complain 1058;
39 If I have eaten 398 the fruits 3581 thereof without money 3701, or have caused the owners 1167 thereof to lose 5301 their life 5315:
40 Let thistles 2336 grow 3318 instead of wheat 2406, and cockle 890 instead of barley 8184. The words 1697 of Job 347 are ended 8552.
