욥기 31장 NASB

  1. 1 "I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?
  2. 2 "And what is the portion of God from above Or the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
  3. 3 "Is it not calamity to the unjust And disaster to those who work iniquity?
  4. 4 "Does He not see my ways And number all my steps?
  5. 5 "If I have walked with falsehood And my foot has hastened after deceit
  6. 6 Let Him weigh me with accurate scales And let God know my integrity.
  7. 7 "If my step has turned from the way Or my heart followed my eyes Or if any spot has stuck to my hands
  8. 8 Let me sow and another eat And let my crops be uprooted.
  9. 9 "If my heart has been enticed by a woman Or I have lurked at my neighbor's doorway
  10. 10 May my wife grind for another And let others kneel down over her.
  11. 11 "For that would be a lustful crime; Moreover it would be an iniquity punishable by judges.
  12. 12 "For it would be fire that consumes to Abaddon And would uproot all my increase.
  13. 13 "If I have despised the claim of my male or female slaves When they filed a complaint against me
  14. 14 What then could I do when God arises? And when He calls me to account what will I answer Him?
  15. 15 "Did not He who made me in the womb make him And the same one fashion us in the womb?
  16. 16 "If I have kept the poor from their desire Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail
  17. 17 Or have eaten my morsel alone And the orphan has not shared it
  18. 18 (But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father And from infancy I guided her)
  19. 19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing Or that the needy had no covering
  20. 20 If his loins have not thanked me And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep
  21. 21 If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan Because I saw I had support in the gate
  22. 22 Let my shoulder fall from the socket And my arm be broken off at the elbow.
  23. 23 "For calamity from God is a terror to me And because of His majesty I can do nothing.
  24. 24 "If I have put my confidence in gold And called fine gold my trust
  25. 25 If I have gloated because my wealth was great And because my hand had secured so much;
  26. 26 If I have looked at the sun when it shone Or the moon going in splendor
  27. 27 And my heart became secretly enticed And my hand threw a kiss from my mouth
  28. 28 That too would have been an iniquity calling for judgment For I would have denied God above.
  29. 29 "Have I rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy Or exulted when evil befell him?
  30. 30 "No I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking for his life in a curse.
  31. 31 "Have the men of my tent not said 'Who can find one who has not been satisfied with his meat'?
  32. 32 "The alien has not lodged outside For I have opened my doors to the traveler.
  33. 33 "Have I covered my transgressions like Adam By hiding my iniquity in my bosom
  34. 34 Because I feared the great multitude And the contempt of families terrified me And kept silent and did not go out of doors?
  35. 35 "Oh that I had one to hear me! Behold here is my signature; Let the Almighty answer me! And the indictment which my adversary has written
  36. 36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder I would bind it to myself like a crown.
  37. 37 "I would declare to Him the number of my steps; Like a prince I would approach Him.
  38. 38 "If my land cries out against me And its furrows weep together;
  39. 39 If I have eaten its fruit without money Or have caused its owners to lose their lives
  40. 40 Let briars grow instead of wheat And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
