Job 31:1-8 ▼

1 I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I look at a young woman?

2 For what portion would I have from God above, or what inheritance from the Almighty on high?

3 Doesn’t disaster come to the unjust and misfortune to evildoers?

4 Does he not see my ways and number all my steps?

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

6 let God weigh me on accurate scales, and he will recognize my integrity.

7 If my step has turned from the way, my heart has followed my eyes, or impurity has stained my hands,

8 let someone else eat what I have sown, and let my crops be uprooted.
