Job 15:12

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.

if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!

I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land.

Whatever my eyes desired, I didn’t keep from them. I didn’t withhold my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor, and this was my portion from all my labor.
