WEB_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

5 H1980 "If I have walked H7723 with falsehood, H7272 and my foot H2363 has hurried H4820 to deceit

6 H8254 (let me be weighed H6664 in an even H3976 balance, H433 that God H3045 may know H8538 my integrity);

7 H838 if my step H5186 has turned out H1870 of the way, H3820 if my heart H1980 walked H310 after H5869 my eyes, H3971 if any defilement H1692 has stuck H3709 to my hands,

8 H2232 then let me sow, H312 and let another H398 eat. H6631 Yes, let the produce H8327 of my field be rooted out.

9 H3820 "If my heart H6601 has been enticed H802 to a woman, H693 and I have laid wait H7453 at my neighbor's H6607 door,

10 H802 then let my wife H2912 grind H312 for another, H312 and let others H3766 sleep with her.

11 H2154 For that would be a heinous crime. H5771 Yes, it would be an iniquity H6414 to be punished by the judges:

12 H784 For it is a fire H398 that consumes H11 to destruction, H8327 and would root out H8393 all my increase.

13 H3988 "If I have despised H4941 the cause H5650 of my male H519 servant or of my female H7379 servant, when they contended with me;

14 H6213 What then shall I do H410 when God H6965 rises up? H6485 When he visits, H7725 what shall I answer him?

15 H6213 Didn't he who made H990 me in the womb H6213 make H259 him? Didn't one H3559 fashion H7358 us in the womb?

16 H4513 "If I have withheld H1800 the poor H2656 from their desire, H5869 or have caused the eyes H490 of the widow H3615 to fail,

17 H398 or have eaten H6595 my morsel H3490 alone, and the fatherless H398 has not eaten of it

18 H5271 (no, from my youth H1431 he grew up H1 with me as with a father, H5148 her have I guided H517 from my mother's H990 womb);

19 H7200 if I have seen H6 any perish H3830 for want of clothing, H34 or that the needy H3682 had no covering;

20 H2504 if his heart H1288 hasn't blessed H2552 me, if he hasn't been warmed H3532 with my sheep's H1488 fleece;

21 H5130 if I have lifted up H3027 my hand H3490 against the fatherless, H7200 because I saw H5833 my help H8179 in the gate,

22 H5307 then let my shoulder fall H7929 from the shoulder blade, H248 and my arm H7665 be broken H7070 from the bone.

23 H343 For calamity H410 from God H6343 is a terror H7613 to me. Because his majesty, H3201 I can do nothing.

24 H7760 "If I have made H2091 gold H3689 my hope, H559 and have said H3800 to the fine gold, H4009 ‘You are my confidence;'

25 H8055 If I have rejoiced H2428 because my wealth H7227 was great, H3027 and because my hand H4672 had gotten H3524 much;

26 H7200 if I have seen H216 the sun H1984 when it shined, H3394 or the moon H1980 moving H3368 in splendor,

27 H3820 and my heart H5643 has been secretly H6601 enticed, H3027 and my hand H5401 threw a kiss H6310 from my mouth,

28 H5771 this also would be an iniquity H6416 to be punished by the judges; H3584 for I should have denied H410 the God H4605 who is above.

29 H8055 "If I have rejoiced H6365 at the destruction H8130 of him who hated H5782 me, or lifted up H7451 myself when evil H4672 found him;

30 H5414 (yes, I have not allowed H2441 my mouth H2398 to sin H7592 by asking H5315 his life H423 with a curse);

31 H4962 if the men H168 of my tent H559 have not said, H5414 ‘Who can find H7646 one who has not been filled H1320 with his meat?'

32 H1616 (the foreigner H3885 has not lodged H2351 in the street, H6605 but I have opened H1817 my doors H734 to the traveler);

33 H121 if like Adam H3680 I have covered H6588 my transgressions, H2934 by hiding H5771 my iniquity H2243 in my heart,

34 H6206 because I feared H7227 the great H1995 multitude, H937 and the contempt H4940 of families H2865 terrified H1826 me, so that I kept silence, H3318 and didn't go out H6607 of the door—

35 H5414 oh that H8085 I had one to hear H8420 me! (behold, here is my signature, H7706 let the Almighty H6030 answer H376 me); let the accuser H3789 write H5612 my indictment!

36 H5375 Surely I would carry H7926 it on my shoulder; H6029 and I would bind H5850 it to me as a crown.

37 H5046 I would declare H4557 to him the number H6806 of my steps. H5057 as a prince H7126 would I go near to him.

38 H127 If my land H2199 cries H3162 out against me, and H8525 its furrows H1058 weep together;

39 H398 if I have eaten H3581 its fruits H3701 without money, H1167 or have caused its owners H5301 to lose H5315 their life,

40 H2336 let briars H3318 grow H2406 instead of wheat, H890 and stinkweed H8184 instead of barley." H1697 The words H347 of Job H8552 are ended.
