Job 31:3-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

3. It is ruin for the evil people.It is disaster for those who do wrong.

4. God sees my ways,and he counts every step I take.

5. “I have not been a dishonest person.I have not lied to others.

6. Let God weigh me on honest scales.Then he will know I have done nothing wrong.

7. I have not turned away from doing what is right.My heart has not been led by my eyes to do wrong.My hands have not been made unclean.

8. If I have done these things, then let other people eat what I have planted.And let my crops be plowed up.

9. “I have not desired another woman.I have never waited at my neighbor’s door to commit adultery with his wife.

10. If I have done these things, then let my wife grind another man’s grain.And let other men have physical relations with her.

11. Sexual sin is shameful.It is a sin which must be punished.

12. It is like a fire that burns and destroys forever.It would destroy all I have.

13. “I have been fair to my male and female slaveswhen they had a complaint against me.

14. If I have not, how could I tell God what I did?What will I answer when God asks me to explain what I’ve done?
