"If I have walked in vanity, or if my foot has hurried towards deceitfulness, "
— Job 31:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;”
“ If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit ”
“"If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit”
“If I have walked in falsehood, and if my foot has hastened to deceit–”
“If I have walked in vanity, and my foot hath made haste to deceit:”
“If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;”
“If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;”
For what portion should God from above hold for me, and what inheritance should the Almighty from on high keep?
Is not destruction held for the wicked and repudiation kept for those who work injustice?
Does he not examine my ways and number all my steps?
If I have walked in vanity, or if my foot has hurried towards deceitfulness,
let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
If my steps have turned aside from the way, or if my heart has followed my eyes, or if a blemish has clung to my hands,
then may I sow, and let another consume, and let my offspring be eradicated.
