Job 31:5

5 Si he caminado con la mentira, y si mi pie se ha apresurado tras el engaño,

Job 31:5

or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
to cheat men in buying and selling, being ready and swift to do it, and in haste to become rich, which puts men oftentimes on evil ways and methods to attain it; see ( Proverbs 28:20 ) .
