"then may I sow, and let another consume, and let my offspring be eradicated. "
— Job 31:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.”
“Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out. ”
“then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.”
“then let me sow and let another eat, and let my crops be uprooted.”
“Then let me sow and let another reap: and let my offspring be rooted out.”
“Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.”
“Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.”
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.
For this is a crime and a very great injustice.
