Verse
Job - ch 31 v 1 - 20
- I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a virgin?
- For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?
- Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?
- Doth not he see my ways, And number all my steps?
- If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit;
- (Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);
- 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:
- Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
- If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;
- Then let my wife grind unto another, And let others bow down upon her.
- For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
- For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, And would root out all mine increase.
- If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;
- What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
- Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
- If I have withheld the poor from `their' desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
- Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
- (Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother's womb);
- If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;
- If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
