Job 31:1–12

I have made a covenant with my eyes.n

How then could I look at a young woman?F,o

2 For what portionp would I have from God above,

or what inheritance from the Almighty on high?

3 Doesn’t disaster come to the unjust

and misfortune to evildoers?

4 Does he not see my ways

and number all my steps?q

5 If I have walked in falsehood

or my foot has rushed to deceit,

6 let God weigh me on accurate scales,r

and he will recognize my integrity.s

7 If my step has turned from the way,

my heart has followed my eyes,

or impurity has stained my hands,t

8 let someone else eat what I have sown,

and let my crops be uprooted.u

9 If my heart has gone astray over a woman

or I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10 let my own wife grind grain for another man,

and let other men sleep withA her.

11 For that would be a disgrace;

it would be an iniquity deserving punishment.v

12 For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon;

it would destroy my entire harvest.w
