Job 31:1-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
31 “I have made a covenant with my eyes;
how, then, could I look upon a virgin?(A)
2 What would be my portion from God above
and my heritage from the Almighty[a] on high?
3 Does not calamity befall the unrighteous
and disaster the workers of iniquity?
4 Does he not see my ways
and number all my steps?(B)

Job Asserts His Moral Innocence
31 “I made a covenant with my eyes;
how, then, can I focus my attention on a virgin?
2 What would I have[a] from God above,
what heritage from the Almighty on high,
3 if not calamity that is due the unjust,
and misfortune that is due those who practice iniquity?
4 He watches my life,
observing every one of my actions,[b] does he not?”
