 1 “I have made a covenant with my  eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin?  2 What would be  my portion from God above and  my heritage from the Almighty on high?  3 Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for the workers of iniquity?  4  Does not he see my ways and  number all my steps?  5 “If I have walked with falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit;  6 (Let me be  weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)  7 if my step has turned aside from the way and  my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any  spot has stuck to my hands,  8 then let me  sow, and another eat, and let what grows for me  be rooted out.  9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have  lain in wait at my neighbor's door,  10 then let my wife  grind for another, and let others  bow down on her.  11 For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity  to be punished by the judges;  12 for that would be a fire  that consumes as far as Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.  13 “If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me,  14 what then shall I do when God rises up?

And did not one fashion us in the womb?  16 “If I have  withheld anything that the poor desired, or have  caused the eyes of the widow to fail,  17 or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it  18 (for from my youth the fatherless  grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother's womb I guided the widow ),  19 if I have seen anyone  perish for  lack of clothing, or the needy without  covering,  20 if his body has not  blessed me,  and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,  21 if I have raised my hand against  the fatherless, because I saw my help in  the gate,  22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.  23 For I was  in terror of calamity from God, and I could not have faced his  majesty.  24  “If I have made gold my  trust or called  fine gold my confidence,  25 if I have  rejoiced because my wealth was abundant or because  my hand had found much,  26  if I have looked at the sun  when it shone, or  the moon moving in splendor,  27 and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand,  28 this also would be  an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have been false to God above.  29 “If I have  rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, or exulted when evil overtook him  30 ( I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse),  31 if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who is there that has not been filled with his  meat?’  32 ( the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the traveler),  33 if I  have concealed my transgressions  as others do  by hiding my iniquity in my heart,  34 because I stood in great fear of  the multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—  35 Oh, that I had one to hear me!

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
