Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out. 9 "If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor's door, 10 then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her. 11 For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges: 12 For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase. 13 "If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me; 14 What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him? 15 Didn't he who made me in the womb make him? Didn't one fashion us in the womb? 16 "If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail, 17 or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it 18 (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, her have I guided from my mother's womb); 19 if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering; 20 if his heart hasn't blessed me, if he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece; 21 if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate, 22 then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone. 23 For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because his majesty, I can do nothing. 24 "If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, 'You are my confidence;' 25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much; 26 if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor, 27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth, 28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have denied the God who is above. 29 "If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him; 30 (yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse); 31 if the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?' 32 (the foreigner has not lodged in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler); 33 if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart, 34 because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn't go out of the door-- 35 oh that I had one to hear me! (behold, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); let the accuser write my indictment! 36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; and I would bind it to me as a crown. 37 I would declare to him the number of my steps. as a prince would I go near to him. 38 If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together; 39 if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,

    1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn't in vain,

    2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

    3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

    4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

    5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

    6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

    7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

    8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

    9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
