1 I cut out a covenant for mine eyes; and why shall I show myself attentive to a virgin? 2 And what the portion of God from above? and the inheritance of the Almighty from the heights? 3 Is not destruction to the evil one? and strangeness to those working iniquity? 4 Will he not see my way, and number all my steps? 5 If I went with vanity, and my foot will haste upon deceit; 6 He shall weigh me in balances of justice, and God will know mine integrity. 7 If my going will incline from the way, and my heart went after mine eyes, and a blemish did cleave upon my hands: 8 I will sow and another shall eat; and my offspring shall be rooted up.
