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.

Job 31:5

If I have walked with vanity - If I have been guilty of idolatry, or the worshipping of a false god: for thus shau , which we here translate vanity, is used Jeremiah 18:15; (compare with Psalms 31:6; Hosea 12:11; and Jonah 2:9), and it seems evident that the whole of Job' s discourse here is a vindication of himself from all idolatrous dispositions and practices.
