Job - Chapter: 31


31:1	I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
31:2	For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
31:3	Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
31:4	Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
31:5	If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
31:6	Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
31:7	If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
31:8	Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
31:9	If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
31:10	Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
31:11	For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
31:12	For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
31:13	If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
31:14	What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
31:15	Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
31:16	If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
31:17	Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
31:18	(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
31:19	If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
31:20	If his loins 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, when I saw my help in the gate:
31:22	Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
31:23	For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
31:24	If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
31:25	If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
31:26	If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
31:27	And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
31:28	This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
31:29	If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
31:30	Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31:31	If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
31:32	The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
31:33	If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
31:34	Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
31:35	Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
31:36	Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
31:37	I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
31:38	If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
31:39	If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
31:40	Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.


31:1	ברית כרתי לעיני ומה אתבונן על בתולה׃
31:2	ומה חלק אלוה ממעל ונחלת שׁדי ממרמים׃
31:3	הלא איד לעול ונכר לפעלי און׃
31:4	הלא הוא יראה דרכי וכל צעדי יספור׃
31:5	אם הלכתי עם שׁוא ותחשׁ על מרמה רגלי׃
31:6	ישׁקלני במאזני צדק וידע אלוה תמתי׃
31:7	אם תטה אשׁרי מני הדרך ואחר עיני הלך לבי ובכפי דבק מאום׃
31:8	אזרעה ואחר יאכל וצאצאי ישׁרשׁו׃
31:9	אם נפתה לבי על אשׁה ועל פתח רעי ארבתי׃
31:10	תטחן לאחר אשׁתי ועליה יכרעון אחרין׃
31:11	כי הוא זמה והיא עון פלילים׃
31:12	כי אשׁ היא עד אבדון תאכל ובכל תבואתי תשׁרשׁ׃
31:13	אם אמאס משׁפט עבדי ואמתי ברבם עמדי׃
31:14	ומה אעשׂה כי יקום אל וכי יפקד מה אשׁיבנו׃
31:15	הלא בבטן עשׂני עשׂהו ויכננו ברחם אחד׃
31:16	אם אמנע מחפץ דלים ועיני אלמנה אכלה׃
31:17	ואכל פתי לבדי ולא אכל יתום ממנה׃
31:18	כי מנעורי גדלני כאב ומבטן אמי אנחנה׃
31:19	אם אראה אובד מבלי לבושׁ ואין כסות לאביון׃
31:20	אם לא ברכוני חלצו ומגז כבשׂי יתחמם׃
31:21	אם הניפותי על יתום ידי כי אראה בשׁער עזרתי׃
31:22	כתפי משׁכמה תפול ואזרעי מקנה תשׁבר׃
31:23	כי פחד אלי איד אל ומשׂאתו לא אוכל׃
31:24	אם שׂמתי זהב כסלי ולכתם אמרתי מבטחי׃
31:25	אם אשׂמח כי רב חילי וכי כביר מצאה ידי׃
31:26	אם אראה אור כי יהל וירח יקר הלך׃
31:27	ויפת בסתר לבי ותשׁק ידי לפי׃
31:28	גם הוא עון פלילי כי כחשׁתי לאל ממעל׃
31:29	אם אשׂמח בפיד משׂנאי והתעררתי כי מצאו רע׃
31:30	ולא נתתי לחטא חכי לשׁאל באלה נפשׁו׃
31:31	אם לא אמרו מתי אהלי מי יתן מבשׂרו לא נשׂבע׃
31:32	בחוץ לא ילין גר דלתי לארח אפתח׃
31:33	אם כסיתי כאדם פשׁעי לטמון בחבי עוני׃
31:34	כי אערוץ המון רבה ובוז משׁפחות יחתני ואדם לא אצא פתח׃
31:35	מי יתן לי שׁמע לי הן תוי שׁדי יענני וספר כתב אישׁ ריבי׃
31:36	אם לא על שׁכמי אשׂאנו אענדנו עטרות׃
31:37	מספר צעדי אגידנו כמו נגיד אקרבנו׃
31:38	אם עלי אדמתי תזעק ויחד תלמיה יבכיון׃
31:39	אם כחה אכלתי בלי כסף ונפשׁ בעליה הפחתי׃
31:40	תחת חטה יצא חוח ותחת שׂערה באשׁה תמו דברי איוב׃


31:1	A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to a virgin?
31:2	And what `is' the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?
31:3	Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?
31:4	Doth not He see my ways, And all my steps number?
31:5	If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit,
31:6	He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know my integrity.
31:7	If my step doth turn aside from the way, And after mine eyes hath my heart gone, And to my hands cleaved hath blemish,
31:8	Let me sow -- and another eat, And my products let be rooted out.
31:9	If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening of my neighbour I laid wait,
31:10	Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others bend.
31:11	For it `is' a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity;
31:12	For a fire it `is', to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,
31:13	If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,
31:14	Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?
31:15	Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.
31:16	If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the widow do consume,
31:17	And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,
31:18	(But from my youth He grew up with me as `with' a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)
31:19	If I see `any' perishing without clothing, And there is no covering to the needy,
31:20	If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself,
31:21	If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in `him' the gate of my court,
31:22	My shoulder from its blade let fall, And mine arm from the bone be broken.
31:23	For a dread unto me `is' calamity `from' God, And because of His excellency I am not able.
31:24	If I have made gold my confidence, And to the pure gold have said, `My trust,'
31:25	If I rejoice because great `is' my wealth, And because abundance hath my hand found,
31:26	If I see the light when it shineth, And the precious moon walking,
31:27	And my heart is enticed in secret, And my hand doth kiss my mouth,
31:28	It also `is' a judicial iniquity, For I had lied to God above.
31:29	If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,
31:30	Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an oath his life.
31:31	If not -- say ye, O men of my tent, `O that we had of his flesh, we are not satisfied.'
31:32	In the street doth not lodge a stranger, My doors to the traveller I open.
31:33	If I have covered as Adam my transgressions, To hide in my bosom mine iniquity,
31:34	Because I fear a great multitude, And the contempt of families doth affright me, Then I am silent, I go not out of the opening.
31:35	Who giveth to me a hearing? lo, my mark. The Mighty One doth answer me, And a bill hath mine adversary written.
31:36	If not -- on my shoulder I take it up, I bind it a crown on myself.
31:37	The number of my steps I tell Him, As a leader I approach Him.
31:38	If against me my land doth cry out, And together its furrows weep,
31:39	If its strength I consumed without money, And the life of its possessors, I have caused to breathe out,
31:40	Instead of wheat let a thorn go forth, And instead of barley a useless weed! The words of Job are finished.
