{Job 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; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:15} Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:16} If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:17} Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 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;) ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:19} If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:20} If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not] warmed with the fleece of my sheep; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:21} If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:22} [Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:23} For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:24} If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:26} If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:33} If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 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? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:36} Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, [and] bind it [as] a crown to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:37} I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:38} If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 31:39} If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: ⠀⠀⠀⠀
