Job 31:4
2 For what is the allotment of God from above, or the heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Does not disaster come to the unjust and calamity to the workers of iniquity?
Does He not see my ways and count my every step?
5 If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit,
6 let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
