Job 31:1-8 ▼

1 |I have made an agreement with my eyes. Then how can I look with lust at a virgin?

2 What would God above do [to me]? What would be my inheritance from the Almighty on high?

3 Aren't there catastrophes for wicked people and disasters for those who do wrong?

4 Doesn't he see my ways and count all my steps?

5 |If I have walked with lies or my feet have run after deception,

6 [then] let God weigh me on honest scales, and he will know I have integrity.

7 |If my steps have left the [proper] path, or my heart has followed [the desire of] my eyes, or my hands are stained [with sin],

8 [then] let someone else eat what I have planted, and let my crops be uprooted.
