31:4. Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps? 31:5. If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit: 31:6. Let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity. 31:7. If my step hath turned out of the way, and if my heart hath followed my eyes, and if a spot hath cleaved to my hands: 31:8. Then let me sow and let another reap: and let my offspring be rooted out. 31:9. If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend's door: 31:10. Let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lie with her. 31:11. For this is a heinous crime, and a most grievous iniquity. 31:12. It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring. 31:13. If I have despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy against me: 31:14. For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him? 31:15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb? 31:16. If I have denied to the poor what they desired, and have made the eyes of the widow wait: 31:17. If I have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof: 31:18. (For from my infancy mercy grew up with me: and it came out with me from my mother's womb:) 31:19. If I have despised him that was perishing for want of clothing, and the poor man that had no covering: 31:20. If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep: 31:21. If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw myself superior in the gate: 31:22. Let my shoulder fall from its joint, and let my arm with its bones be broken. 31:23. For I have always feared God as waves swelling over me, and his weight I was unable to bear. 31:24. If I have thought gold my strength, and have said to fine gold: My confidence: 31:25. If I have rejoiced over my great riches, and because my hand had gotten much. 31:26. If I beheld the sun when it shined and the moon going in brightness: If I beheld the sun, etc... If I behold the sun and moon with admiration, knowing them to be created and governed by the power of God, I call on my adversaries to produce any thing against me, whereby I could be charged with worshipping the sun or moon. 31:27. And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with, my mouth: 31:28. Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God. 31:29. If I have been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him. 31:30. For I have not given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul. 31:31. If the men of my tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled? 31:32. The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller.
