절	Good News Translation (1992)	King James Version
1	I have made a solemn promise never to look with lust at a woman.	I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
2	What does Almighty God do to us? How does he repay human deeds?	For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3	He sends disaster and ruin to those who do wrong.	Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
4	God knows everything I do; he sees every step I take.	Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5	I swear I have never acted wickedly and never tried to deceive others.	If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6	Let God weigh me on honest scales, and he will see how innocent I am.	Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.
7	If I have turned from the right path or let myself be attracted to evil, if my hands are stained with sin,	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;
8	then let my crops be destroyed, or let others eat the food I grow.	Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9	If I have been attracted to my neighbor's wife, and waited, hidden, outside her door,	If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;
10	then let my wife cook another man's food and sleep in another man's bed.	Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11	Such wickedness should be punished by death.	For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12	It would be like a destructive, hellish fire, consuming everything I have.	For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13	When any of my servants complained against me, I would listen and treat them fairly.	If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14	If I did not, how could I then face God? What could I say when God came to judge me?	What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15	The same God who created me created my servants also.	Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16	I have never refused to help the poor; never have I let widows live in despair	If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17	or let orphans go hungry while I ate.	Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18	All my life I have taken care of them.	(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)
19	When I found someone in need, too poor to buy clothes,	If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20	I would give him clothing made of wool that had come from my own flock of sheep. Then he would praise me with all his heart.	If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21	If I have ever cheated an orphan, knowing I could win in court,	If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22	then may my arms be broken; may they be torn from my shoulders.	Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23	Because I fear God's punishment, I could never do such a thing.	For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24	I have never trusted in riches	If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25	or taken pride in my wealth.	If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26	I have never worshiped the sun in its brightness or the moon in all its beauty.	If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27	I have not been led astray to honor them by kissing my hand in reverence to them.	And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28	Such a sin should be punished by death; it denies Almighty God.	This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29	I have never been glad when my enemies suffered, or pleased when they met with disaster;	If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30	I never sinned by praying for their death.	Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31	All those who work for me know that I have always welcomed strangers.	If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
32	I invited travelers into my home and never let them sleep in the streets.	The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33	Others try to hide their sins, but I have never concealed mine.	If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34	I have never feared what people would say; I have never kept quiet or stayed indoors because I feared their scorn.	Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
35	Will no one listen to what I am saying? I swear that every word is true. Let Almighty God answer me. If the charges my opponent brings against me were written down so that I could see them,	Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
36	I would wear them proudly on my shoulder and place them on my head like a crown.	Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
37	I would tell God everything I have done, and hold my head high in his presence.	I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
38	If I have stolen the land I farm and taken it from its rightful owners—	If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
39	if I have eaten the food that grew there but let the farmers that grew it starve—	If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
40	then instead of wheat and barley, may weeds and thistles grow. The words of Job are ended.	Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
