Job 31:1-8

Amplified Bible

Job Asserts His Integrity

31 “I have made a covenant (agreement) with my eyes;
How then could I gaze [lustfully] at a virgin?
²
“For what is the portion I would have from God above,
And what heritage from the Almighty on high?
³
“Does not tragedy fall [justly] on the unjust
And disaster to those who work wickedness?
⁴
“Does not God see my ways
And count all my steps?

⁵
“If I have walked with falsehood,
Or if my foot has chased after deceit,
⁶
Oh, let Him weigh me with accurate scales,
And let God know my integrity.
⁷
“If my step has turned away from the way [of God],
Or if my heart has [covetously] followed my eyes,
Or if any spot [of guilt] has stained my hands,
⁸
Then let me plant and [let] another eat [from the results of my labor],
And let my crops be uprooted and ruined.
