Job 31:8

Read in context

Job 31:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.

7 If my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has followed my eyes, or if impurity has stuck to my hands,

8 then may another eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.

9 If my heart has been enticed by my neighbor’s wife, or I have lurked at his door,

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