Job 31:1-8 ▼

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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