The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

“ I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?For what is the portion from God above, and the heritage from the Almighty on high?Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?“ If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit( let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.“ If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.“ If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me,what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?Didn’t he who made me in the womb make him? Didn’t one fashion us in the womb?“ If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it( no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, I have guided her from my mother’s womb);if I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;if his heart hasn’t blessed me, if he hasn’t been warmed with my sheep’s fleece;if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from the bone.For calamity from God is a terror to me. Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.“ If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold,‘ You are my confidence;’If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have denied the God who is above.“ If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him( yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);if the men of my tent have not said,‘ Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’( the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; and I would bind it to me as a crown.I would declare to him the number of my steps. as a prince would I go near to him.If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

“ Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would 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. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.

but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.

Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me( yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

All this has come on us, yet we haven’t forgotten you. We haven’t been false to your covenant.Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread out our hands to a strange god,won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me, and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.I was a father to the needy. I researched the cause of him who I didn’t know.I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.“ Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.

Their webs won’t become garments. They won’t cover themselves with their works. Their works are works of iniquity, and acts of violence are in their hands.

the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty.If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
