Job 31

¹A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what — do I attend to a virgin?

²And what [is] the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?

³Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?

⁴Doth not He see my ways, And all my steps number?

⁵If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit,

⁶He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know my integrity.

⁷If my step doth turn aside from the way, And after mine eyes hath my heart gone, And to my hands cleaved hath blemish,

⁸Let me sow — and another eat, And my products let be rooted out.

⁹If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening of my neighbour I laid wait,

¹⁰Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others bend.

¹¹For it [is] a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity;

¹²For a fire it [is], to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,

¹³If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,

¹⁴Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?

¹⁵Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.
