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

How then should I look upon a virgin?

And disaster to the workers of iniquity?
4 Doth not he see my ways,
And number all my steps?
