God's Word Translation

Job 31:7-15 God's Word Translation (GW)

7. “If my steps have left the ⌊proper⌋ path,or my heart has followed ⌊the desire of⌋ my eyes,or my hands are stained ⌊with sin⌋,

8. ⌊then⌋ let someone else eat what I have planted,and let my crops be uprooted.

9. “If I have been seduced by a womanor I have secretly waited near my neighbor’s door,

10. ⌊then⌋ let my wife grind for another ⌊man⌋,and let other ⌊men⌋ kneel over her.

11. That would be a scandal,and that would be a criminal offense.

12. It would be a fire that burns even in Abaddon.It would uproot my entire harvest.

13. “If I have abused the rights of my servants, male or female,when they have disagreed with me,

14. then what could I do if God rises up?If he examines me, how could I answer him?

15. Didn’t he who made me in my mother’s belly make them?Didn’t the same God form us in the womb?
