1: A covenantH1285 I have madeH3772 with my eyes-H5869 then whyH4100 should I lookH0995 uponH5921 a young woman?H1330

2: for what [is]H4100 the allotmentH2506 of GodH0433 from above?H4605 and the inheritance ofH5159 the AlmightyH7706 from on high?H4791

3: [Is] it notH3808 destructionH0343 for the wicked?H5767 and disasterH5235 for the workersH6466 of iniquity?H0205

4: Does notH3808 HeH1931 seeH7200 my ways,H1870 and allH3605 my stepsH6806 count?H5608

5: ifH0518 I have walkedH1980 withH5973 falsehood,H7723 Or if has hastenedH2363 toH5921 deceit-H4820 my foot.H7272

6: Let me be weighedH8254 on scales,H3976 honestH6664 that may knowH3045 GodH0433 my integrity.H8538

7: IfH0518 has turnedH5186 my stepH0838 fromH4480 the way,H1870 Or afterH0310 my eyes,H5869 walkedH1980 my heartH3820 Or if to my hands-H3709 adheresH1692 any spot.H3971

8: [Then] let me sow,H2232 and anotherH0312 eat-H0398 and Yes my harvestH6631 let be rooted out.H8327

9: IfH0518 has been enticedH6601 my heartH3820 byH5921 a woman,H0802 Or [if] atH5921 door-H6607 of my neighborH7453 I have lurked.H0693

10: [Then] let grindH2912 for another,H0312 my wifeH0802 and over herH5921 let bow downH3766 others.H0312

11: ForH3588 that [would be]H1931 wickedness-H2154 Yes it [would be]H1931 iniquity [deserving of]H5771 judgment.H6414

12: ForH3588 a fireH0784 that [would be]H1931 toH5704 destruction,H0011 [that] consumesH0398 and allH3605 my increaseH8393 would root out.H8327

13: IfH0518 I have despisedH3988 the causeH4941 of my maleH5650 or maidservant,H0519 when they complainedH7378 against me.H5978

14: Then whatH4100 shall I doH6213 whenH3588 rises up?H6965 GodH0410 and whenH3588 He punishes,H6485 whatH4100 shall I answer Him.H7725

15: Did notH3808 in the wombH0990 He who made meH6213 make themH6213 and did not fashion usH3559 in the wombH7358 [the same] one?H0259

16: ifH0518 I have keptH4513 from [their] desire,H2656 the poorH1800 Or the eyesH5869 of the widowH0490 caused to fail-H3615

17: Or eatenH0398 my morselH6595 by myself,H0905 so that notH3808 could eatH0398 the fatherlessH3490 of it-H4480

18: butH3588 from my youthH5271 I reared himH1431 as a father,H0001 and from wombH0990 of my motherH0517 I guided [the widow].H5148

19: IfH0518 I have seenH7200 anyone perishH0006 for lackH1097 of clothing,H3830 Or withoutH0369 covering-H3682 any poor [man].H0034

20: IfH0518 notH3808 has blessed meH1288 his heartH2504 and [if] with the fleeceH1488 of my sheep-H3532 he was [not] warmed.H2552

21: IfH0518 I have raisedH5130 againstH5921 the fatherless,H3490 my handH3027 whenH3588 I sawH7200 in the gate,H8179 I had help.H5833

22: My armH3802 from my shoulder,H7929 [Then] let fallH5307 and my armH0248 from the socketH7070 let be torn.H7665

23: ForH3588 [is] a terrorH6343 to meH0413 destructionH0343 [from] GodH0410 and because of His magnificenceH7613 cannotH3808 I endure.H3201

24: IfH0518 I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hope,H3689 Or to fine gold,H3800 saidH0559 [You are] my confidence-H4009

25: ifH0518 I have rejoicedH8055 becauseH3588 great,H7227 my wealth [was]H2428 and becauseH3588 much-H3524 had gainedH4672 my hand.H3027

26: IfH0518 I have observedH7200 the sunH0216 whenH3588 it shines,H1984 Or the moonH3394 [in] brightness-H3368 moving.H1980

27: So that has been enticed,H6601 secretlyH5643 my heartH3820 and has kissedH5401 my hand-H3027 my mouth.H6310

28: AlsoH1571 that [would be]H1931 an iniquity [deserving of]H5771 judgment,H6416 forH3588 I would have deniedH3584 GodH0410 [who is] above.H4605

29: IfH0518 I have rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH6365 of him who hated meH8130 Or lifted up myselfH5782 whenH3588 found himH4672 evil.H7451

30: And indeed notH3808 I have allowedH5414 to sinH2398 my mouthH2441 by asking forH7592 an oathH0423 on his soul.H5315

31: IfH0518 not,H3808 have saidH0559 the menH4962 of my tentH0168 Oh thatH4310 we hadH5414 from his meatH1320 notH3808 [some are] satisfied.H7646

32: In the street,H2351 [But] noH3808 had to lodgeH3885 sojournerH1616 my doorsH1817 to the travelerH0734 [For] I have opened.H6605

33: IfH0518 I have coveredH3680 as Adam,H0121 my transgressionsH6588 by hidingH2934 in my bosom,H2243 my iniquity.H5771

34: BecauseH3588 I fearedH6206 the multitude,H1995 greatH7227 and the contemptH0937 of familiesH4940 dreadedH2865 so that I kept silence,H1826 notH3808 [And] did go outH3318 of the door?H6607

35: Oh thatH4310 I hadH5414 meH8085 Here is,H2005 my markH8420 [Oh that] the AlmightyH7706 would answer meH6030 and had written.H5612 [That] a bookH3789 my ProsecutorH0376 -.H7379

36: SurelyH0518 notH3808 onH5921 my shoulder,H7926 I would carry itH5375 [And] bind itH6029 [like] a crownH5850

37: The numberH4557 of my steps-H6806 I would declare to HimH5046 LikeH3644 a princeH5057 I would approach Him.H7126

38: IfH0518 against meH5921 my landH0127 cries outH2199 and togetherH3162 its furrowsH8525 weep-H1058

39: ifH0518 its fruitH3581 I have eatenH0398 withoutH1097 money,H3701 Or their lives,H5315 its ownersH1167 caused to lose.H5301

40: InsteadH8478 of wheat,H2406 [Then] let growH3318 thistlesH2336 and insteadH8478 of barleyH8184 weedsH0890 are ended.H8552 The wordsH1697 of Job.H0347
