New King James Version

Job 31:3-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. Is it not destruction for the wicked,And disaster for the workers of iniquity?

4. Does He not see my ways,And count all my steps?

5. “If I have walked with falsehood,Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,

6. Let me be weighed on honest scales,That God may know my integrity.

7. If my step has turned from the way,Or my heart walked after my eyes,Or if any spot adheres to my hands,

8. Then let me sow, and another eat;Yes, let my harvest be rooted out.

9. “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10. Then let my wife grind for another,And let others bow down over her.

11. For that would be wickedness;Yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.

12. For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction,And would root out all my increase.

13. “If I have despised the cause of my male or female servantWhen they complained against me,

14. What then shall I do when God rises up?When He punishes, how shall I answer Him?

15. Did not He who made me in the womb make them?Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
