"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,"
— Job 31:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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;”
“If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands: ”
“if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,”
“If my footsteps have strayed from the way, if my heart has gone after my eyes, or if anything has defiled my hands,”
“If my step hath turned out of the way, and if my heart hath followed my eyes, and if a spot hath cleaved to my hands:”
“If my steps have been turned out of the way, or if my heart went after my eyes, or if the property of another is in my hands;”
“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;”
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.
If my heart has been deceived over a woman, or if I have waited in ambush at my friend’s door,
then let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lean over her.
