I madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with mine eyesH5869; why then should I thinkH995 upon a maidH1330?
For what portionH2506 of GodH433 is there from aboveH4605? and what inheritanceH5159 of the AlmightyH7706 from on highH4791?
Is not destructionH343 to the wickedH5767? and a strangeH5235 punishment to the workersH6466 of iniquityH205?
Doth not he seeH7200 my waysH1870, and countH5608 all my stepsH6806?
If I have walkedH1980 with vanityH7723, or if my footH7272 hath hastedH2363 to deceitH4820;
Let me be weighedH8254 in an evenH6664 balanceH3976, that GodH433 may knowH3045 mine integrityH8538. {Let…: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
If my stepH838 hath turned outH5186 of the wayH1870, and mine heartH3820 walkedH1980 afterH310 mine eyesH5869, and if any blotH3971 hath cleavedH1692 to mine handsH3709;
Then let me sowH2232, and let anotherH312 eatH398; yea, let my offspringH6631 be rooted outH8327.
If mine heartH3820 have been deceivedH6601 by a womanH802, or if I have laid waitH693 at my neighbour'sH7453 doorH6607;
Then let my wifeH802 grindH2912 unto anotherH312, and let othersH312 bow downH3766 upon her.
For this is an heinous crimeH2154; yea, it is an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgesH6414.
For it is a fireH784 that consumethH398 to destructionH11, and would root outH8327 all mine increaseH8393.
If I did despiseH3988 the causeH4941 of my manservantH5650 or of my maidservantH519, when they contendedH7379 with me;
What then shall I doH6213 when GodH410 riseth upH6965? and when he visitethH6485, what shall I answerH7725 him?
Did not he that madeH6213 me in the wombH990 makeH6213 him? and did not oneH259 fashionH3559 us in the wombH7358? {did not one…: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
If I have withheldH4513 the poorH1800 from their desireH2656, or have caused the eyesH5869 of the widowH490 to failH3615;
Or have eatenH398 my morselH6595 myself alone, and the fatherlessH3490 hath not eatenH398 thereof;
(For from my youthH5271 he was brought upH1431 with me, as with a fatherH1, and I have guidedH5148 her from my mother'sH517 wombH990;) {her: that is, the widow}
If I have seenH7200 any perishH6 for want of clothingH3830, or any poorH34 without coveringH3682;
If his loinsH2504 have not blessedH1288 me, and if he were not warmedH2552 with the fleeceH1488 of my sheepH3532;
If I have lifted upH5130 my handH3027 against the fatherlessH3490, when I sawH7200 my helpH5833 in the gateH8179:
Then let mine armH3802 fallH5307 from my shoulder bladeH7929, and mine armH248 be brokenH7665 from the boneH7070. {bone: or, chanelbone}
For destructionH343 from GodH410 was a terrorH6343 to me, and by reason of his highnessH7613 I couldH3201 not endure.
If I have madeH7760 goldH2091 my hopeH3689, or have saidH559 to the fine goldH3800, Thou art my confidenceH4009;
If I rejoicedH8055 because my wealthH2428 was greatH7227, and because mine handH3027 had gottenH4672 muchH3524; {gotten…: Heb. found much}
If I beheldH7200 the sunH216 when it shinedH1984, or the moonH3394 walkingH1980 in brightnessH3368; {sun: Heb. light} {in…: Heb. bright}
And my heartH3820 hath been secretlyH5643 enticedH6601, or my mouthH6310 hath kissedH5401 my handH3027: {my mouth…: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
This also were an iniquityH5771 to be punished by the judgeH6416: for I should have deniedH3584 the GodH410 that is aboveH4605.
If I rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH6365 of him that hatedH8130 me, or lifted upH5782 myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him:
Neither have I sufferedH5414 my mouthH2441 to sinH2398 by wishingH7592 a curseH423 to his soulH5315. {mouth: Heb. palate}
If the menH4962 of my tabernacleH168 saidH559 not, Oh that we hadH5414 of his fleshH1320! we cannot be satisfiedH7646.
The strangerH1616 did not lodgeH3885 in the streetH2351: but I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the travellerH734. {traveller: or, way}
If I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, by hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243: {as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
Did I fearH6206 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, or did the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifyH2865 me, that I kept silenceH1826, and went not outH3318 of the doorH6607?
Oh thatH5414 one would hearH8085 me! behold, my desireH8420 is, that the AlmightyH7706 would answerH6030 me, and that mine adversaryH376+H7379 had writtenH3789 a bookH5612. {my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
Surely I would takeH5375 it upon my shoulderH7926, and bindH6029 it as a crownH5850 to me.
I would declareH5046 unto him the numberH4557 of my stepsH6806; as a princeH5057 would I go nearH7126 unto him.
If my landH127 cryH2199 against me, or that the furrowsH8525 likewiseH3162 thereof complainH1058; {complain: Heb. weep}
If I have eatenH398 the fruitsH3581 thereof without moneyH3701, or have caused the ownersH1167 thereof to loseH5301 their lifeH5315: {fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners…: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
Let thistlesH2336 growH3318 instead of wheatH2406, and cockleH890 instead of barleyH8184. The wordsH1697 of JobH347 are endedH8552. {cockle: or, noisome weeds}

And GodH430 madeH6213 twoH8147 greatH1419 lightsH3974; the greaterH1419 lightH3974 to ruleH4475 the dayH3117, and the lesserH6996 lightH3974 to ruleH4475 the nightH3915: he made the starsH3556 also. {to rule the day…: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.}
And GodH430 setH5414 them in the firmamentH7549 of the heavenH8064 to give lightH215 upon the earthH776,
And to ruleH4910 over the dayH3117 and over the nightH3915, and to divideH914 the lightH216 from the darknessH2822: and GodH430 sawH7200 that it was goodH2896.
When I considerH7200 thy heavensH8064, the workH4639 of thy fingersH676, the moonH3394 and the starsH3556, which thou hast ordainedH3559;
And lest thou lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto heavenH8064, and when thou seestH7200 the sunH8121, and the moonH3394, and the starsH3556, even all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, shouldest be drivenH5080 to worshipH7812 them, and serveH5647 them, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath dividedH2505 unto all nationsH5971 under the whole heavenH8064. {divided: or, imparted}
What is manH582, that thou art mindfulH2142 of him? and the sonH1121 of manH120, that thou visitestH6485 him?
Take heedH8104 to yourselves, that your heartH3824 be not deceivedH6601, and ye turn asideH5493, and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them;
But we will certainlyH6213 doH6213 whatsoever thingH1697 goeth forthH3318 out of our own mouthH6310, to burn incenseH6999 unto the queenH4446 of heavenH8064, and to pour outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto her, as we have doneH6213, we, and our fathersH1, our kingsH4428, and our princesH8269, in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389: for then had we plentyH7646 of victualsH3899, and were wellH2896, and sawH7200 no evilH7451. {queen…: or, frame of heaven} {victuals: Heb. bread}
And hath goneH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, either the sunH8121, or moonH3394, or any of the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, which I have not commandedH6680;
And he put downH7673 the idolatrous priestsH3649, whom the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had ordainedH5414 to burn incenseH6999 in the high placesH1116 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and in the places round aboutH4524 JerusalemH3389; them also that burned incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, to the sunH8121, and to the moonH3394, and to the planetsH4208, and to all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064. {put…: Heb. caused to cease} {idolatrous…: Heb. Chemarim} {planets: or, twelve signs or, constellations}
And he took awayH7673 the horsesH5483 that the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had givenH5414 to the sunH8121, at the entering inH935 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, by the chamberH3957 of NathanmelechH5419 the chamberlainH5631, which was in the suburbsH6503, and burnedH8313 the chariotsH4818 of the sunH8121 with fireH784. {chamberlain: or, eunuch, or, officer}
And they shall spreadH7849 them before the sunH8121, and the moonH3394, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, whom they have lovedH157, and whom they have servedH5647, and afterH310 whom they have walkedH1980, and whom they have soughtH1875, and whom they have worshippedH7812: they shall not be gatheredH622, nor be buriedH6912; they shall be for dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And he broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and, behold, at the doorH6607 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, were about fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376, with their backsH268 toward the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and their facesH6440 toward the eastH6924; and they worshippedH7812 the sunH8121 toward the eastH6924.
