1. “I have made a covenant with my eyes;how then could I gaze at a virgin?
2. What would be my portion from God aboveand my heritage from the Almighty on high?
3. Is not calamity for the unrighteous,and disaster for the workers of iniquity?
4. Does not he see my waysand number all my steps?
5. “If I have walked with falsehoodand my foot has hastened to deceit;
6. (Let me be weighed in a just balance,and let God know my integrity!)
7. if my step has turned aside from the wayand my heart has gone after my eyes,and if any spot has stuck to my hands,
8. then let me sow, and another eat,and let what grows for me be rooted out.
9. “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
10. then let my wife grind for another,and let others bow down on her.
11. For that would be a heinous crime;that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
12. for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon,and it would burn to the root all my increase.
