Good News Bible

Job 31:6-13 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. Let God weigh me on honest scales,and he will see how innocent I am.

7. If I have turned from the right pathor let myself be attracted to evil,if my hands are stained with sin,

8. then let my crops be destroyed,or let others eat the food I grow.

9. If I have been attracted to my neighbour's wife,and waited, hidden, outside her door,

10. then let my wife cook another man's foodand sleep in another man's bed.

11. Such wickedness should be punished by death.

12. It would be like a destructive, hellish fire,consuming everything I have.

13. When any of my servants complained against me,I would listen and treat them fairly.
