## Job 31:5-8 in Context (Verses 2–11 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/job/31/2) For what portion of God *is there* from above? and *what* inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
 
 [3 ](/kjv/job/31/3) *Is* not destruction to the wicked? and a strange *punishment* to the workers of iniquity?
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/31/4) Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/31/5) If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/31/6) Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/job/31/7) If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
 
 [8 ](/kjv/job/31/8) *Then* let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/31/9) If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or *if* I have laid wait at my neighbour’s door;
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/31/10) *Then* let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/job/31/11) For this *is* an heinous crime; yea, it *is* an iniquity *to be punished by* the judges.
 
[Job 30](/kjv/job/30) [Job 32](/kjv/job/32)
