Job 31:1-15

1“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.

2For what is our lot from God above, our heritage from the Almighty on high?

3Is it not ruin for the wicked, disaster for those who do wrong?

4Does he not see my ways and count my every step?

5“If I have walked with falsehood or my foot has hurried after deceit—

6let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless—

7if my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled,

8then may others eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.

9“If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,

10then may my wife grind another man’s grain, and may other men sleep with her.

11For that would have been wicked, a sin to be judged.

12It is a fire that burns to Destruction Hebrew Abaddon ; it would have uprooted my harvest.

13“If I have denied justice to any of my servants, whether male or female, when they had a grievance against me,

14what will I do when God confronts me? What will I answer when called to account?

15Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?
