Job 31:29–31

29 “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune

or gloated over the trouble that came to him—

30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin

by invoking a curse against their life—

31 if those of my household have never said,

‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’—

29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me,

Or lifted up myself when evil found him:

30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin

By wishing a curse to his soul.

31 If the men of my tabernacle said not,

Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

29 “Have I ever rejoiced when disaster struck my enemies,

or become excited when harm came their way?

30 No, I have never sinned by cursing anyone

or by asking for revenge.

31 “My servants have never said,

‘He let others go hungry.’

29 “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me,

Or lifted myself up when evil found him

30 (Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin

By asking for a curse on his soul);

31 If the men of my tent have not said,

‘Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?’

29 “I have not been happy when my enemies fell

or laughed when they had trouble.

30 I have not let my mouth sin

by cursing my enemies’ life.

31 The servants of my house have always said,

‘All have eaten what they want of Job’s food.’

29 If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me,

Or lifted up myself when evil found him

30 (Yea, I have not suffered 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 that hath not been filled with his meat?

29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, and exulted when evil befell him; 30 (Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse;) 31 If the men of my tent said not, Who shall find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat? —

29 “If I enjoyed the ruin of my enemy 

or celebrated when harm came to him 

30 (even though I didn’t speak sinfully 

by calling down a curse on his life).… 

31 “If the people who were in my tent had said, 

‘We wish we had never filled ⸤our stomachs⸥ with his food’.… 

29 Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress,

or become excited when trouble came his way?

30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin

by asking for his life with a curse.

31 Haven’t the members of my household said,

“Who is there who has not had enough to eat at Job’s table?”

29 “If I have rejoiced at the ruin of those who hated me

or exulted when evil overtook them—

30 I have not let my mouth sin

by asking for their lives with a curse—

31 if those of my tent ever said,

‘O that we might be sated with his flesh!’—

29 “If I have rejoiced at the ruin of the one who hated me

or have exulted when evil overtook him—

30 no, I have not allowed my mouth to sin,

to ask his life with a curse.

31 Have the people of my tent not said,

‘O that someone had not been satisfied with his meat’?

29 “I wasn’t happy when hard times came to my enemies.

I didn’t enjoy seeing the trouble they had.

30 I didn’t allow my mouth to sin

by calling down curses on them.

31 The workers in my house always said,

‘Job always gives plenty of food to everyone.’

29 “Have I rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy,

Or exulted when evil befell him?

30 “No, I have not allowed my mouth to sin

By asking for his life in a curse.

31 “Have the men of my tent not said,

‘Who can find one who has not been satisfied with his meat’?
