“I made a covenant with my eyesi

not to look lustfully at a young woman.j

2 For what is our lotk from God above,

our heritage from the Almighty on high?l

3 Is it not ruinm for the wicked,

disastern for those who do wrong?o

4 Does he not see my waysp

and count my every step?q

5 “If I have walked with falsehood

or my foot has hurried after deceitr—

6 let God weigh mes in honest scalest

and he will know that I am blamelessu—

7 if my steps have turned from the path,v

if my heart has been led by my eyes,

or if my handsw have been defiled,x

8 then may others eat what I have sown,y

and may my crops be uprooted.z

9 “If my heart has been enticeda by a woman,b

or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10 then may my wife grindc another man’s grain,

and may other men sleep with her.d

11 For that would have been wicked,e

a sin to be judged.f

12 It is a fireg that burns to Destructiona;h

it would have uprooted my harvest.i
