The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

“ I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin?What would be my portion from God above and my heritage from the Almighty on high?Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for the workers of iniquity?Does not he see my ways and number all my steps?“ If I have walked with falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit;( Let me be weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)if my step has turned aside from the way and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has stuck to my hands,then let me sow, and another eat, and let what grows for me be rooted out.“ If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down on her.For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.“ If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me,what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?“ If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it( for from my youth the fatherless grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow),if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or the needy without covering,if his body has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.For I was in terror of calamity from God, and I could not have faced his majesty.“ If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence,if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant or because my hand had found much,if I have looked at the sun when it shone, or the moon moving in splendor,and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand,this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have been false to God above.“ If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, or exulted when evil overtook him( I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse),if the men of my tent have not said,‘ Who is there that has not been filled with his meat?’( the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the traveler),if I have concealed my transgressions as others do by hiding my iniquity in my heart,because I stood in great fear of the multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—Oh, that I had one to hear me!( Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me as a crown;I would give him an account of all my steps; like a prince I would approach him.“ If my land has cried out against me and its furrows have wept together,if I have eaten its yield without payment and made its owners breathe their last,let thorns grow instead of wheat, and foul weeds instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

“ Behold, I know your thoughts and your schemes to wrong me.For you say,‘ Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’

If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not injustice dwell in your tents.

but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.

O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah

All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way;yet you have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;

because I delivered the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to help him.The blessing of him who was about to perish came upon me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban.I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.I was a father to the needy, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know.I broke the fangs of the unrighteous and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.“ Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

Is not your evil abundant? There is no end to your iniquities.For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing and stripped the naked of their clothing.You have given no water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.The man with power possessed the land, and the favored man lived in it.You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.

For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery.

Their webs will not serve as clothing; men will not cover themselves with what they make. Their works are works of iniquity, and deeds of violence are in their hands.

The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

If you will seek God and plead with the Almighty for mercy,if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and restore your rightful habitation.
