Job 27:4-6

and my tongue will not utter ^kdeceit.
5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;

Job 29:11-17

11 When the ear heard, it called me blessed,
and when the eye saw, it approved,
12 because I ^odelivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13 ^pThe blessing of him who was ^qabout to perish came upon me,
and I caused ^rthe widow’s heart to sing for joy.
14 I ^sput on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and ^ta turban.
15 I was ^ueyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out ^vthe cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I ^wbroke ^xthe 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 ^yeyes;
how then could I gaze at a virgin?
2 What would be ^zmy portion from God above
and ^aamy heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Is not calamity for the unrighteous,
and disaster for the workers of iniquity?
4 ^abDoes not he see my ways
and ^acnumber all my steps?
5 “If I have walked with falsehood
and my foot has hastened to deceit;
6 (Let me be ^adweighed in a just balance,
and let God know my integrity!)
7 if my step has turned aside from the way
and ^aemy heart has gone after my eyes,
and if any ^afspot has stuck to my hands,
8 then let me ^agsow, 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 ^ailain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
10 then let my wife ^ajgrind for another,
and let others ^akbow down on her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity ^alto be punished by the judges;
12 for that would be a fire ^amthat 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 ^anmakes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
15 Did ^aonot he who made me in the womb make him?
And did not one fashion us in the womb?
16 “If I have ^apwithheld anything that the poor desired,
or have ^aqcaused 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 ^atperish for ^aulack of clothing,
or the needy without ^avcovering,
20 if his body has not ^awblessed 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 ^aythe fatherless,
because I saw my help in ^azthe gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
23 For I was ^bain terror of calamity from God,
and I could not have faced his ^bbmajesty.
24 ^bc“If I have made gold my ^bdtrust
or called ^befine gold my confidence,
25 if I have ^bfrejoiced because my wealth was abundant
or because ^bgmy hand had found much,
26 ^bhif I have looked at the sun ^{▼▼Hebrew the light} when it shone,
or ^bjthe moon moving in splendor,
27 and my heart has been secretly enticed,
and my mouth has kissed my hand,
28 this also would be ^bkan iniquity to be punished by the judges,
for I would have been false to God above.
29 “If I have ^blrejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me,
or exulted when evil overtook him
30 ( ^bmI 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 ^bnmeat?’
32 ( ^bothe sojourner has not lodged in the street;
I have opened my doors to the traveler),
33 if I ^bphave concealed my transgressions ^bqas others do ^{▼▼Or as Adam did}
by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34 because I stood in great fear of ^bsthe 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 ^btanswer me!)
Oh, that I had ^buthe indictment written by my adversary!
36 Surely I would carry it on my ^bvshoulder;
I would ^bwbind it on me as ^bxa 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 ^byif I have eaten its yield without payment
and made its owners ^bzbreathe their last,
40 let ^cathorns grow instead of wheat,
and foul weeds instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.

Job 33:9

9 You say, ‘I am ^cbpure, without ^cctransgression;
I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
