Job 31

¹“I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I gaze with desire at a virgin?

²For what is the allotment of God from above, or the heritage from the Almighty on high?

³Does not disaster come to the unjust and calamity to the workers of iniquity?

⁴Does He not see my ways and count my every step?

⁵If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit,

⁶let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.

⁷If my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has followed my eyes, or if impurity has stuck to my hands,

⁸then may another eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.

⁹If my heart has been enticed by my neighbor’s wife, or I have lurked at his door,

¹⁰then may my own wife grind grain for another, and may other men sleep with her.

¹¹For that would be a heinous crime, an iniquity to be judged.

¹²For it is a fire that burns down to Abaddon; it would root out my entire harvest.

¹³If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or maidservant when they made a complaint against me,

¹⁴what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?

¹⁵Did not He who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same One form us in the womb?
