Job 31:20-40

31:20

If his loins
<02504>

have not blessed
<01288> (8765)

me, and [if] he were [not] warmed
<02552> (8691)

with the fleece
<01488>

of my sheep
<03532>_;

31:21

If I have lifted up
<05130> (8689)

my hand
<03027>

against the fatherless
<03490>_,

when I saw
<07200> (8799)

my help
<05833>

in the gate
<08179>_:

31:22

[Then] let mine arm
<03802>

fall
<05307> (8799)

from my shoulder blade
<07929>_,

and mine arm
<0248>

be broken
<07665> (8735)

from the bone
<07070>_.

{bone: or, chanelbone}

31:23

For destruction
<0343>

[from] God
<0410>

[was] a terror
<06343>

to me, and by reason of his highness
<07613>

I could
<03201> (8799)

not endure.

31:24

If I have made
<07760> (8804)

gold
<02091>

my hope
<03689>_,

or have said
<0559> (8804)

to the fine gold
<03800>_,

[Thou art] my confidence
<04009>_;

31:25

If I rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

because my wealth
<02428>

[was] great
<07227>_,

and because mine hand
<03027>

had gotten
<04672> (8804)

much
<03524>_;

{gotten...: Heb. found much}

31:26

If I beheld
<07200> (8799)

the sun
<0216>

when it shined
<01984> (8686)_,

or the moon
<03394>

walking
<01980> (8802)

[in] brightness
<03368>_;

{sun: Heb. light} {in...: Heb. bright}

31:27

And my heart
<03820>

hath been secretly
<05643>

enticed
<06601> (8799)_,

or my mouth
<06310>

hath kissed
<05401> (8799)

my hand
<03027>_:

{my mouth...: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}

31:28

This also [were] an iniquity
<05771>

[to be punished by] the judge
<06416>_:

for I should have denied
<03584> (8765)

the God
<0410>

[that is] above
<04605>_.

31:29

If I rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

at the destruction
<06365>

of him that hated
<08130> (8764)

me, or lifted up
<05782> (8712)

myself when evil
<07451>

found
<04672> (8804)

him:

31:30

Neither have I suffered
<05414> (8804)

my mouth
<02441>

to sin
<02398> (8800)

by wishing
<07592> (8800)

a curse
<0423>

to his soul
<05315>_.

{mouth: Heb. palate}

31:31

If the men
<04962>

of my tabernacle
<0168>

said
<0559> (8804)

not, Oh that we had
<05414> (8799)

of his flesh
<01320>_!

we cannot be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.

31:32

The stranger
<01616>

did not lodge
<03885> (8799)

in the street
<02351>_:

[but] I opened
<06605> (8799)

my doors
<01817>

to the traveller
<0734>_.

{traveller: or, way}

31:33

If I covered
<03680> (8765)

my transgressions
<06588>

as Adam
<0121>_,

by hiding
<02934> (8800)

mine iniquity
<05771>

in my bosom
<02243>_:

{as Adam: or, after the manner of men}

31:34

Did I fear
<06206> (8799)

a great
<07227>

multitude
<01995>_,

or did the contempt
<0937>

of families
<04940>

terrify
<02865> (8686)

me, that I kept silence
<01826> (8799)_,

[and] went not out
<03318> (8799)

of the door
<06607>_?

31:35

Oh that
<05414> (8799)

one would hear
<08085> (8802)

me! behold, my desire
<08420>

[is, that] the Almighty
<07706>

would answer
<06030> (8799)

me, and [that] mine adversary
<0376> <07379>

had written
<03789> (8804)

a book
<05612>_.

{my...: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}

31:36

Surely I would take
<05375> (8799)

it upon my shoulder
<07926>_,

[and] bind
<06029> (8799)

it [as] a crown
<05850>

to me.

31:37

I would declare
<05046> (8686)

unto him the number
<04557>

of my steps
<06806>_;

as a prince
<05057>

would I go near
<07126> (8762)

unto him.

31:38

If my land
<0127>

cry
<02199> (8799)

against me, or that the furrows
<08525>

likewise
<03162>

thereof complain
<01058> (8799)_;

{complain: Heb. weep}

31:39

If I have eaten
<0398> (8804)

the fruits
<03581>

thereof without money
<03701>_,

or have caused the owners
<01167>

thereof to lose
<05301> (8689)

their life
<05315>_:

{fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners...: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}

31:40

Let thistles
<02336>

grow
<03318> (8799)

instead of wheat
<02406>_,

and cockle
<0890>

instead of barley
<08184>_.

The words
<01697>

of Job
<0347>

are ended
<08552> (8804)_.

{cockle: or, noisome weeds}
