ASV
MSG
1"I made a solemn pact with myselfnever to undress a girl with my eyes.
ASV
1I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a virgin?
MSG
2So what can I expect from God?What do I deserve from God Almighty above?
ASV
2For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?
MSG
3Isn't calamity reserved for the wicked?Isn't disaster supposed to strike those who do wrong?
ASV
3Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?
MSG
4Isn't God looking, observing how I live?Doesn't he mark every step I take?
ASV
4Doth not he see my ways, And number all my steps?
MSG
5"Have I walked hand in hand with falsehood,or hung out in the company of deceit?
ASV
5If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit
MSG
6Weigh me on a set of honest scalesso God has proof of my integrity.
ASV
6(Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);
MSG
7If I've strayed off the straight and narrow,wanted things I had no right to,messed around with sin,
ASV
7If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:
MSG
8Go ahead, then—give my portion to someone who deserves it.
ASV
8Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
MSG
9"If I've let myself be seduced by a womanand conspired to go to bed with her,
ASV
9If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;
MSG
10Fine, my wife has every right to go aheadand sleep with anyone she wants to.
ASV
10Then let my wife grind unto another, And let others bow down upon her.
MSG
11For disgusting behavior like that,I'd deserve the worst punishment you could hand out.
ASV
11For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
MSG
12Adultery is a fire that burns the house down;I wouldn't expect anything I count dear to survive it.
ASV
12For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, And would root out all mine increase.
MSG
13"Have I ever been unfair to my employeeswhen they brought a complaint to me?
ASV
13If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;
MSG
14What, then, will I do when God confronts me?When God examines my books, what can I say?
ASV
14What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
MSG
15Didn't the same God who made me, make them?Aren't we all made of the same stuff, equals before God?
ASV
15Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
MSG
16"Have I ignored the needs of the poor,turned my back on the indigent,
ASV
16If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
MSG
17Taken care of my own needs and fed my own facewhile they languished?
ASV
17Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof
MSG
18Wasn't my home always open to them?Weren't they always welcome at my table?
ASV
18(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother's womb);
MSG
19"Have I ever left a poor family shivering in the coldwhen they had no warm clothes?
ASV
19If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;
MSG
20Didn't the poor bless me when they saw me coming,knowing I'd brought coats from my closet?
ASV
20If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
MSG
21"If I've ever used my strength and influenceto take advantage of the unfortunate,
ASV
21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:
MSG
22Go ahead, break both my arms,cut off all my fingers!
ASV
22Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.
MSG
23The fear of God has kept me from these things—how else could I ever face him?
ASV
23For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
MSG
24"Did I set my heart on making big moneyor worship at the bank?
ASV
24If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
MSG
25Did I boast about my wealth,show off because I was well-off?
ASV
25If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;
MSG
26Was I ever so awed by the sun's brillianceand moved by the moon's beauty
ASV
26If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,
MSG
27That I let myself become seduced by themand worshiped them on the sly?
ASV
27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, And my mouth hath kissed my hand:
MSG
28If so, I would deserve the worst of punishments,for I would be betraying God himself.
ASV
28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God that is above.
MSG
29"Did I ever crow over my enemy's ruin?Or gloat over my rival's bad luck?
ASV
29If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;
MSG
30No, I never said a word of detraction,never cursed them, even under my breath.
ASV
30(Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);
MSG
31"Didn't those who worked for me say,'He fed us well. There were always second helpings'?
ASV
31If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?
MSG
32And no stranger ever had to spend a night in the street;my doors were always open to travelers.
ASV
32(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);
MSG
33Did I hide my sin the way Adam did,or conceal my guilt behind closed doors
ASV
33If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,
MSG
34Because I was afraid what people would say,fearing the gossip of the neighbors so muchThat I turned myself into a recluse?You know good and well that I didn't.
ASV
34Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—
MSG
35"Oh, if only someone would give me a hearing!I've signed my name to my defense—let theAlmighty One answer!I want to see my indictment in writing.
ASV
35Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
MSG
36Anyone's welcome to read my defense;I'll write it on a poster and carry it around town.
ASV
36Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:
MSG
37I'm prepared to account for every move I've ever made—to anyone and everyone, prince or pauper.
ASV
37I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.
MSG
38"If the very ground that I farm accuses me,if even the furrows fill with tears from my abuse,
ASV
38If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;
MSG
39If I've ever raped the earth for my own profitor dispossessed its rightful owners,
ASV
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
MSG
40Then curse it with thistles instead of wheat,curse it with weeds instead of barley."The words of Job to his three friends were finished.
ASV
40Let thistles grow instead of wheat, And cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
