Verse
Job - ch 31 v 1 - 20
- "I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?
- 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?
- Doesn't he see my ways, and number all my steps?
- "If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried to deceit
- (let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
- if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
- then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
- "If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor's door,
- then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
- For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
- For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
- "If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me;
- What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?
- Didn't he who made me in the womb make him? Didn't 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 has not eaten of it
- (no, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, 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 heart hasn't blessed me, if he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece;
