Job 31:12

Read in context

Job 31:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 then may my own wife grind grain for another, and may other men sleep with her.

11 For that would be a heinous crime, an iniquity to be judged.

12 For it is a fire that burns down to Abaddon; it would root out my entire harvest.

13 If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or maidservant when they made a complaint against me,

14 what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?
