Verse
Job - ch 31 v 1 - 20
- I Made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
- For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
- Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
- Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
- If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
- Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity.
- If my step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after my eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to my hands;
- Then let me sow, and let another eat; yes, let my offspring be rooted out.
- If my heart hath been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;
- Then let my wife grind to another, and let others bow down upon her.
- For this is a hainous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
- For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
- If I 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 myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten of it;
- (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
- If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
- If his loins have not blessed me, and if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
