Verse
Job - ch 31 v 1 - 20
- I made a covenant with mine eyes; and how should I fix my regard upon a maid?
- For what would have been my portion of +God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
- Is not calamity for the unrighteous? and misfortune for 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, and +God will take knowledge of my blamelessness;)
- If my step have turned out of the way, and my heart followed mine eyes, and if any blot cleaveth to my hands;
- Let me sow, and another eat; and let mine offspring be rooted out.
- If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, so that I laid wait at my neighbour's door,
- Let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.
- For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity to be judged by the judges:
- For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
- If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contended with me,
- What then should I do when ùGod riseth up? and if he visited, what should 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 caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
- Or have eaten my morsel alone, so that the fatherless ate not thereof,
- (For from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have guided the widow from my mother's womb;)
- If I have seen any perishing for want of clothing, or any needy without covering;
- If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my lambs;
