Had I rejoiced at the destruction of my enemy or exulted when evil came upon him, Even though I had not allowed my mouth to sin by invoking a curse against his life— Had not the men of my tent exclaimed, “Who has not been filled with his meat!” No stranger lodged in the street, for I opened my door to wayfarers— Had I, all too human, hidden my sins and buried my guilt in my bosom Because I feared the great multitude and the scorn of the clans terrified me— then I should have remained silent, and not come out of doors! Job 31:29-34

Had I put my trust in gold or called fine gold my security; Or had I rejoiced that my wealth was great, or that my hand had acquired abundance— Had I looked upon the light (of the sun) as it shone, or the moon in the splendor of its progress, And had my heart been secretly enticed to blow them a kiss with my hand, This too would be a crime for condemnation, for I should have denied God above. Job 31:24-28

If I have seen a wanderer without clothing, or a poor man without covering, Whose limbs have not blessed me when warmed with the fleece of my sheep; If I have raised my hand against the innocent because I saw that I had supporters at the gate— Then may my arm fall from the shoulder, my forearm be broken at the elbow! For I dread calamity from God, and His Majesty will overpower me. Job 31:19-23

Had I refused justice to my manservant or to my maidservant, when they had a complaint against me, What then should I do when God rises up? What could I answer when (God) demands an account? Did not He who made me in the belly make him? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? If I have denied anything that the poor desired, or allowed the eyes of the widow to languish, while I ate my portion alone, with no share in it for the fatherless, Though like a father (God) has reared me from my youth, guiding me even from my mother’s womb. Job 31:13-18

What portion comes from God above, what heritage from the Almighty on high? Is it not calamity for the unrighteous, and woe for evildoers? Does He not see my ways, and number all my steps? If I have walked in falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit, Let God weigh me in the scales of justice; thus will He know my innocence! Job 31:2-6

Yet should not a hand be held out to help a wretched person in distress? Did I not weep for the hardships of others; was not my soul grieved for the poor? Yet when I looked for good, evil came; when I expected light, darkness came. My inward parts seethe and will not be stilled; days of affliction have overtaken me. Job 30:24-27

I cry to You (LORD), but You do not answer me; I stand, but You take no notice. You have turned into my tormentor, and with Your strong hand You attack me.

Irresponsible, of no account, they were driven out of the land. Yet now they sing of me in mockery; I have become a byword among them. They abhor me, they stand aloof, they do not hesitate to spit in my face! Because (God) has loosened my bowstring and afflicted me, they have thrown off restraint in my presence. Job 30:8-11

Once I spoke, they said no more, but received my pronouncement drop by drop. They waited for me as for the rain; they drank in my words like the spring rains. When I smiled on them they could not believe it; they would not let the light of my face be dimmed. I decided their course and sat at their head, I lived like a king among the troops, like one who comforts mourners. Job 29:22-25
