Job 11:14

14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not injustice dwell in your tents.

Job 15:20

20 The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
through all the ^ayears that are laid up for ^bthe ruthless.

Job 15:34

34 For ^cthe company of the godless is barren,
and ^dfire consumes the tents of bribery.

Job 21:27-28

27 “Behold, I know your thoughts
and your schemes to wrong me.
28 For you say, ^e‘Where is the house of the prince?
Where is ^fthe tent in which the wicked lived?’

Job 22:5-9

5 Is not your evil abundant?
There is no end to your iniquities.
6 For you have ^gexacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
^hand stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have ⁱwithheld bread from the hungry.
8 ^jThe man with power possessed the land,
and ^kthe favored man lived in it.
9 You have ^lsent widows away empty,
and ^mthe arms of ⁿthe fatherless were crushed.

Job 27:6-7

and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

Job 29:12-17

12 because I ^qdelivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13 ^rThe blessing of him who was ^sabout to perish came upon me,
and I caused ^tthe widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 I ^uput on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and ^va turban.
15 I was ^weyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out ^xthe cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I ^ybroke ^zthe fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

Job 31

Job’s Final Appeal

1 “I have made a covenant with my ^aaeyes;
how then could I gaze at a virgin?
2 What would be ^abmy portion from God above
and ^acmy heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Is not calamity for the unrighteous,
and disaster for the workers of iniquity?
4 ^adDoes not he see my ways
and ^aenumber all my steps?
5 “If I have walked with falsehood
and my foot has hastened to deceit;
6 (Let me be ^afweighed in a just balance,
and let God know my integrity!)
7 if my step has turned aside from the way
and ^agmy heart has gone after my eyes,
and if any ^ahspot has stuck to my hands,
8 then let me ^aisow, and another eat,
and let what grows for me ^{▼▼Or let my descendants} be rooted out.
9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have ^aklain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
10 then let my wife ^algrind for another,
and let others ^ambow down on her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity ^anto be punished by the judges;
12 for that would be a fire ^aothat consumes as far as Abaddon,
and it would burn to the root all my increase.
13 “If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant,
when they brought a complaint against me,
14 what then shall I do when God rises up?
When he ^apmakes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
15 Did ^aqnot he who made me in the womb make him?
And did not one fashion us in the womb?
16 “If I have ^arwithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have ^ascaused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (for from my youth the fatherless ^{▼▼Hebrew he} grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow ^{▼▼Hebrew her}),
19 if I have seen anyone ^avperish for ^awlack of clothing,
or the needy without ^axcovering,
20 if his body has not ^ayblessed me, ^{▼▼Hebrew if his loins have not blessed me}
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against ^bathe fatherless,
because I saw my help in ^bbthe gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
23 For I was ^bcin terror of calamity from God,
and I could not have faced his ^bdmajesty.
24 ^be“If I have made gold my ^bftrust
or called ^bgfine gold my confidence,
25 if I have ^bhrejoiced because my wealth was abundant
or because ^bimy hand had found much,
26 ^bjif I have looked at the sun ^{▼▼Hebrew the light} when it shone,
or ^blthe moon moving in splendor,
27 and my heart has been secretly enticed,
and my mouth has kissed my hand,
28 this also would be ^bman iniquity to be punished by the judges,
for I would have been false to God above.
29 “If I have ^bnrejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me,
or exulted when evil overtook him
30 ( ^boI have not let my mouth sin
by asking for his life with a curse),
31 if the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who is there that has not been filled with his ^bpmeat?’
32 ( ^bqthe sojourner has not lodged in the street;
I have opened my doors to the traveler),
33 if I ^brhave concealed my transgressions ^bsas others do ^{▼▼Or as Adam did}
by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34 because I stood in great fear of ^buthe multitude,
and the contempt of families terrified me,
so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—
35 Oh, that I had one to hear me!
(Here is my signature! Let the Almighty ^bvanswer me!)
Oh, that I had ^bwthe indictment written by my adversary!
36 Surely I would carry it on my ^bxshoulder;
I would ^bybind it on me as ^bza crown;
37 I would give him an account of all my steps;
like a prince I would approach him.
38 “If my land has cried out against me
and its furrows have wept together,
39 ^caif I have eaten its yield without payment
and made its owners ^cbbreathe their last,
40 let ^ccthorns grow instead of wheat,
and foul weeds instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.
