• Job 31:1-40

  [1] "I made a covenant with my eyes, How then should I look lustfully at a young woman? [2] For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high? [3] Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity? [4] Doesn't he see my ways, And number all my steps? [5] "If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot has hurried to deceit [6] (Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know my integrity); [7] If my step has turned out of the way, If my heart walked after my eyes, If any defilement has stuck to my hands, [8] Then let me sow, and let another eat; 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 man-servant Or of my maid-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, By reason of 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, 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 the furrows of it weep together; [39] If I have eaten the fruits of it without money, Or have caused the owners of it to lose their life: [40] Let briars grow instead of wheat, And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.

• Galatians 5:1

  Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

• James 5:16

  Confess your offenses to one another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective.
