Job 31
Reading Job chapter 31 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 I Made a covenant with my 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?
3 [Is] not destruction to the wicked? and a strange [punishment] to the workers of iniquity?
4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6 Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity.
7 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;
8 [Then] let me sow, and let another eat; yes, let my offspring be rooted out.
9 If my heart hath been deceived by a woman, or [if] I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;
10 [Then] let my wife grind to another, and let others bow down upon her.
