Job 31:5-8
Job 31:5-8 The Message (MSG)
“Have I walked hand in hand with falsehood, or hung out in the company of deceit? Weigh me on a set of honest scales so God has proof of my integrity. If I’ve strayed off the straight and narrow, wanted things I had no right to, messed around with sin, Go ahead, then— give my portion to someone who deserves it.
Job 31:5-8 King James Version (KJV)
If I have walked with vanity, Or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity. 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; Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
