^ Jb 31.7: 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;

^ Jb 31.9: If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or [if] I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

^ Jb 31.14: What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
^ Jb 31.15: Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
^ Jb 31.16: If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
^ Jb 31.17: Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
^ Jb 31.18: (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
^ Jb 31.19: If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
^ Jb 31.20: If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
^ Jb 31.21: If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
^ Jb 31.22: [Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
^ Jb 31.23: For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
^ Jb 31.24: If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence;

^ Jb 31.26: If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness;
^ Jb 31.27: And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
^ Jb 31.28: This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge: for I should have denied the God [that is] above.
^ Jb 31.29: If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
^ Jb 31.30: Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
^ Jb 31.31: If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

^ Jb 31.34: Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door?
^ Jb 31.35: Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire [is, that] the Almighty would answer me, and [that] mine adversary had written a book.
^ Jb 31.36: Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, [and] bind it [as] a crown to me.
^ Jb 31.37: I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
