Job 31:5-6

 

איוב לא:ה-ו

Original Text:

אִם הָלַכְתִּי עִם שָׁוְא וַתַּחַשׁ עַל מִרְמָה רַגְלִי: יִשְׁקְלֵנִי בְמֹאזְנֵי צֶדֶק וְיֵדַע אֱלוֹהַּ תֻּמָּתִי:

Translation:

Have I walked with worthless people, or my feet hurried to deceit? Let God weigh me on the scale of justice; let God ascertain my integrity.
[AJWS translation]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. Are these two actions punishable crimes? If so, why do we rely on God to judge?
2. Who judges us today? How do we attempt to be judged favorably?
