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

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

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

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

   ⁹If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;

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

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

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

   ¹³If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

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

   ¹⁵Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

   ¹⁶If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

   ¹⁷Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

   ¹⁸(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)

   ¹⁹If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

   ²⁰If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

   ²¹If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

   ²²Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

   ²³For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

   ²⁴If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

   ²⁵If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

   ²⁶If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

   ²⁷And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

   ²⁸This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

   ²⁹If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

   ³⁰Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

   ³¹If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

   ³²The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.

   ³³If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

   ³⁴Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?

   ³⁵Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

   ³⁶Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.

   ³⁷I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

   ³⁸If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

   ³⁹If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

   ⁴⁰Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
