Job 31:1-14 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

1. I Made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

2. For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

3. Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?

4. Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

5. If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;

6. Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity.

7. If my step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after my eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to my hands;

8. Then let me sow, and let another eat; yes, let my offspring be rooted out.

9. If my heart hath been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;

10. Then let my wife grind to another, and let others bow down upon her.

11. For this is a hainous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.

12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all my increase.

13. If I despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me;

14. What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
