யோபு 31

Job’s Final Appeal

“I have made a covenant with my eyes. Jas 1:14-15Mat 5:28-291Jn 2:16Psa 119:37Pro 6:252Sa 11:2-4Pro 4:25Gen 6:2

How then could I gaze with desire at a virgin?

For what is the allotment of God from above, Job 20:29Heb 13:4Job 27:13

or the heritage from the Almighty on high?

Does not disaster come to the unjust Job 21:30Job 34:221Th 5:32Pe 2:12Th 1:9Isa 28:21Jud 1:7Mat 7:13

and calamity to the workers of iniquity?

Does He not see my ways Job 34:212Ch 16:9Pro 5:21Job 14:16Jer 32:19Pro 15:3Jer 16:17Psa 139:1-3

and count my every step?

If I have walked in falsehood Pro 12:11Psa 44:20-21Ezk 13:8Jer 2:5Mic 2:11Psa 12:2Psa 4:2Psa 7:3-5

or my foot has rushed to deceit,

let God weigh me with honest scales, Dan 5:27Psa 7:8-91Sa 2:3Isa 26:7Mat 7:23Job 27:5-6Job 6:2Jos 22:22

that He may know my integrity.

If my steps have turned from the path, Num 15:39Ecc 11:9Mat 5:29Ezk 14:3Ezk 14:7Ezk 6:9Isa 33:15Job 23:11

if my heart has followed my eyes,

or if impurity has stuck to my hands,

then may another eat what I have sown, Lev 26:16Mic 6:15Deu 28:38Deu 28:30-33Deu 28:51Jdg 6:3-6Job 15:30Job 18:19

and may my crops be uprooted.

If my heart has been enticed by my neighbor’s wife, 1Ki 11:4Ecc 7:26Jdg 16:5Hos 7:4Jer 5:8Job 24:15-16Neh 13:26Pro 2:16-19

or I have lurked at his door,

then may my own wife grind grain for another, Jer 8:102Sa 12:11Deu 28:30Isa 47:2Exo 11:5Hos 4:13-14Mat 24:41

and may other men sleep with her.

For that would be a heinous crime, Lev 20:10Deu 22:22-24Job 31:28Gen 38:24Exo 20:14Ezk 16:38Gen 20:9Pro 6:29-33

an iniquity to be judged.

For it is a fire that burns down to Abaddon; 1 Pro 6:27Jer 5:7-9Heb 13:4Job 15:30Job 20:28Job 26:6Mal 3:5Pro 3:33

it would root out my entire harvest.

If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or maidservant Col 4:1Deu 15:12-15Deu 24:14-15Eph 6:9Exo 21:20-21Exo 21:26-27Jer 34:14-17Lev 25:43

when they made a complaint against me,

what will I do when God rises to judge? Jas 2:13Psa 10:12-15Psa 44:21Psa 9:12Psa 9:19Rom 3:19Zec 2:13Hos 9:7

How will I answer when called to account?

Did not He who made me in the womb also make them? Pro 14:31Job 34:19Mal 2:10Pro 22:2Job 10:8-12Isa 58:7Job 10:3Neh 5:5

Did not the same One form us in the womb?

If I have denied the desires of the poor Deu 15:7-10Isa 38:14Act 11:29Deu 28:32Gal 2:10Job 20:19Job 22:7-9Job 5:16

or allowed the widow’s eyes to fail,

if I have eaten my morsel alone, 1Jn 3:17Act 4:32Deu 15:11Deu 15:14Ezk 18:16Ezk 18:7Jas 1:27Jhn 13:29

not sharing it with the fatherless—

though from my youth I reared him as would a father,

and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow—

if I have seen one perish for lack of clothing, Job 22:61Jn 3:182Ch 28:15Act 9:39Isa 58:7Jas 2:16Job 24:4Job 29:13

or a needy man without a cloak,

if his heart has not blessed me 2 Deu 24:13Job 29:11

for warming him with the fleece of my sheep,

if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless Job 22:9Job 29:12Ezk 22:7Jer 5:28Job 24:9Job 6:27Mic 2:1-2Mic 7:3

because I saw that I had support in the gate,

then may my arm fall from my shoulder Job 31:10Job 31:40Job 38:15Jos 22:22-23Psa 137:6Psa 7:4-5

and be torn from its socket.

For calamity from God terrifies me, Job 13:11Psa 119:1202Co 5:11Isa 13:6Psa 76:7Gen 39:9Job 20:23Job 21:20

and His splendor I cannot overpower.

If I have put my trust in gold Deu 8:12-14Pro 11:28Psa 49:6-7Psa 52:71Ti 6:101Ti 6:17Luk 12:15Pro 10:15

or called pure gold my security,

if I have rejoiced in my great wealth Psa 62:10Dan 4:30Deu 8:17-18Est 5:11Ezk 28:5Hab 1:16Hos 12:8Isa 10:13-14

because my hand had gained so much,

if I have beheld the sun 3in its radiance Ezk 8:16Deu 4:19Deu 17:32Ki 23:112Ki 23:5Jer 44:17Jer 8:2Deu 11:16

or the moon moving in splendor,

so that my heart was secretly enticed Deu 13:6Deu 11:161Ki 19:18Hos 13:2Isa 44:20Psa 2:12Rom 1:21Rom 1:28

and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

this would also be an iniquity to be judged, Deu 17:2-7Job 31:11Psa 50:6Deu 17:9Gen 18:25Jdg 11:27Job 23:7Job 9:15

for I would have denied God on high.

If I have rejoiced in my enemy’s ruin, Pro 24:17-18Pro 17:5Oba 1:12Psa 35:13-14Psa 35:25-262Sa 1:122Sa 16:5-82Sa 4:10-11

or exulted when evil befell him—

I have not allowed my mouth to sin 1Pe 3:9Rom 12:141Pe 2:22-23Exo 23:4-5Jas 3:9-10Mat 5:22Mat 5:43-44Ecc 5:2

by asking for his life with a curse—

if the men of my house have not said, 1Sa 24:101Sa 24:41Sa 26:82Sa 16:9-102Sa 19:21-22Jer 40:15-16Job 19:22Job 22:7

‘Who is there who has not had his fill?’—

but no stranger had to lodge on the street, Heb 13:2Gen 19:2-3Jdg 19:20-211Pe 4:9Isa 58:7Mat 25:35Rom 12:131Ti 5:10

for my door has been open to the traveler—

if I have covered my transgressions like Adam 4 Pro 28:13Act 5:81Jn 1:8-10Gen 3:12Hos 6:7Jos 7:11Gen 3:7-8

by hiding my guilt in my heart,

because I greatly feared the crowds Exo 23:2Pro 29:252Co 5:16Amo 5:11-13Est 4:11Est 4:14Exo 32:27Jer 38:16

and the contempt of the clans terrified me,

so that I kept silent

and would not go outside—

(Oh, that I had one to hear me! Job 13:21-22Job 40:4-5Job 13:24Job 13:3Job 17:3Job 19:23-24Job 19:7Job 23:3-7

Here is my signature.

Let the Almighty answer me;

let my accuser compose an indictment.

Surely I would carry it on my shoulder Isa 22:22Exo 28:12Isa 62:3Job 29:14Php 4:1

and wear it like a crown.

I would give account of all my steps; Job 13:15Eph 3:12Heb 4:15-161Jn 3:19-21Gen 32:28Job 1:3Job 14:16Job 29:25

I would approach Him like a prince.)—

if my land cries out against me Hab 2:11Jas 5:4Job 20:27Psa 65:13

and its furrows weep together,

if I have devoured its produce without payment 1Ki 21:19Jas 5:41Ki 21:13-16Ezk 22:12-13Ezk 22:6Gen 4:12Isa 26:21Pro 1:19

or broken the spirit of its tenants,

then let briers grow instead of wheat Gen 3:17-18Isa 7:23Mal 1:3Psa 72:20Zep 2:9

and stinkweed instead of barley.”

Thus conclude the words of Job.
