New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 30
29 Instead, I am considered a brother to jackals and a companion to owls.
30 My skin has turned dark, and my bones burn with fever.
31 My harp plays sad music, and my flute accompanies those who weep.
Job 31
1 “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look with lust at a young woman.
2 For what has God above chosen for us? What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?
3 Isn’t it calamity for the wicked and misfortune for those who do evil?
4 Doesn’t he see everything I do and every step I take?
5 “Have I lied to anyone or deceived anyone?
6 Let God weigh me on the scales of justice, for he knows my integrity.
7 If I have strayed from his pathway, or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen, or if I am guilty of any other sin,
8 then let someone else eat the crops I have planted. Let all that I have planted be uprooted.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
