Job 31:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 31:5

Compare all

3 Is it not destruction for the wicked,
And disaster for the workers of iniquity?

4 ^aDoes He not see my ways,
And count all my steps?

5 “If I have walked with falsehood,
Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,

6 ¹Let me be weighed on honest scales,
That God may know my ^aintegrity.

7 If my step has turned from the way,
Or ^amy heart walked after my eyes,
Or if any spot adheres to my hands,

8 Then ^alet me sow, and another eat;
Yes, let my harvest be¹ rooted out.

9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10 Then let my wife grind for ^aanother,
And let others bow down over her.

11 For that would be wickedness;
Yes, ^ait would be iniquity deserving of judgment.

12 For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction,
And would root out all my increase.
