"If my heart has been deceived over a woman, or if I have waited in ambush at my friend’s door, "
— Job 31:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;”
“ If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door; ”
“"If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor's door,”
“If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,”
“If my heart hath been deceived upon a woman, and if I have laid wait at my friend's door:”
“If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;”
“If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;”
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.
It is a fire devouring all the way to perdition, and it roots out all that springs forth.
