According to Job 31, a good life looks like:

  • do not look with lust
  • live like God is watching (because he is)
  • do not speaking deceitfully
  • do not depart from God’s way
  • do not incline after your eyes
  • do not wait at your neighbor’s door (meaning, don’t wait around in order to be tempted)
  • Fight for your servants if they raise an issue
  • Consider that all are made by God in the same way you were. There is no better or worse than another
  • Do not withhold from the poor
  • do not ignore the widow
  • do not eat alone
  • feed the fatherless
  • provide clothing to those with lack
  • fear the LORD
  • be trustworthy
  • rejoice in what God gives you
  • live in public - do not have secrets
  • do not curse others
  • Ensure that those around you live generously with your resources (servants should know that you are generous, it’s not a question of hesitation)
  • take in strangers or travelers
  • do not keep secret sins, shout them
  • do not be afraid of the world, fear God
  • pay for what you use
