1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a maid? 2 For what would be the portion of God from above, And the heritage of the Almighty from on high? 3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity? 4 Doth not He see my ways, And count all my steps? 5 If I have walked with vanity, And my foot hath hasted to deceit-- 6 Let me be weighed in a just balance, That God may know mine integrity-- 7 If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands; 8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out. Job 31:1-8, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
