Job 31:1–2

1 “I made a covenant with my eyes

not to look lustfully at a young woman.

2 For what is our lot from God above,

our heritage from the Almighty on high?

1 I made a covenant with mine eyes;

Why then should I think upon a maid?

2 For what portion of God is there from above?

And what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

1 “I made a covenant with my eyes

not to look with lust at a young woman.

2 For what has God above chosen for us?

What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?

1 “I have made a covenant with my eyes;

Why then should I look upon a young woman?

2 For what is the allotment of God from above,

And the inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

1 “But I made an agreement with my eyes

not to look with desire at a girl.

2 What has God above promised for people?

What has the Almighty planned from on high?

1 I made a covenant with mine eyes;

How then should I look upon a virgin?

2 For what is the portion from God above,

And the heritage from the Almighty on high?

1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; and how should I fix my regard upon a maid? 2 For what would have been my portion of †God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

1 “I have made an agreement with my eyes. 

Then how can I look with lust at a virgin? 

2 What would God above do ⸤to me⸥? 

What would be my inheritance from the Almighty on high? 

1 I have made a covenant with my eyes.

How then could I look at a young woman?

2 For what portion would I have from God above,

or what inheritance from the Almighty on high?

1 “I have made a covenant with my eyes;

how, then, could I look upon a virgin?

2 What would be my portion from God above

and my heritage from the Almighty on high?

1 “I made a covenant with my eyes,

so how could I look closely upon a virgin?

2 And what is the portion of God from above

or the heritage of Shaddai from on high?

1 “I made an agreement with my eyes.

I promised not to look at another woman with sexual longing.

2 What do human beings receive from God above?

What do they get from the Mighty One in heaven?

1 “I have made a covenant with my eyes;

How then could I gaze at a virgin?

2 “And what is the portion of God from above

Or the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
