Top Verses Profile for Job 31:13  

6 Let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless – 7 If my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled 8 Then may others eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted. 9 "If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door," 10 Then may my wife grind another man's grain, and may other men sleep with her. 11 For that would have been wicked, a sin to be judged. 12 It is a fire that burns to Destruction; it would have uprooted my harvest. 13 "If I have denied justice to any of my servants, whether male or female, when they had a grievance against me," 14 What will I do when God confronts me? What will I answer when called to account? 15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers? 16 "If I have denied the desires of the poor or let the eyes of the widow grow weary," 17 If I have kept my bread to myself, not sharing it with the fatherless – 18 But from my youth I reared them as a father would, and from my birth I guided the widow – 19 If I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing, or the needy without garments 20 And their hearts did not bless me for warming them with the fleece from my sheep (NIV)

6 Oh, let me be weighed in a just balance and let Him weigh me, that God may know my integrity! 7 If my step has turned out of [God's] way, and my heart has gone the way my eyes [covetously] invited, and if any spot has stained my hands with guilt 8 Then let me sow and let another eat; yes, let the produce of my field or my offspring be rooted out. 9 If my heart has been deceived and I made a fool by a woman, or if I have [covetously] laid wait at my neighbor's door [until his departure] 10 Then let my wife grind [meal, like a bondslave] for another, and let others bow down upon her. 11 For [adultery] is a heinous and chief crime, an iniquity [to demand action by] the judges and punishment. [Deut. 22:22; John 8:5.] 12 For [uncontrolled passion] is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (to destruction, ruin, and the place of final torment); [that fire once lighted would rage until all is consumed] and would burn to the root all my [life's] increase. 13 If I have despised and rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant when they contended or brought a complaint against me 14 What then shall I do when God rises up [to judge]? When He visits [to inquire of me], what shall I answer Him? [Ps. 44:21.] 15 Did not He Who made me in the womb make [my servant]? And did not One fashion us both in the womb? [Prov. 14:31; 22:2; Mal. 2:10.] 16 If I have withheld from the poor and needy what they desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to look in vain [for relief] 17 Or have eaten my morsel alone and have not shared it with the fatherless-- 18 No, but from my youth [the fatherless] grew up with me as a father, and I have been [the widow's] guide from my mother's womb-- 19 If I have seen anyone perish for want of clothing, or any poor person without covering 20 If his loins have not blessed me [for clothing them], and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep (AMP)

6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity. 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; 8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. 9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. 13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; 14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? 16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; 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;) 19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; 20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; (KJV)
