Job 31:9-12

New International Reader's Version

⁹ “Suppose my heart has been tempted by a woman.
    Or suppose I’ve prowled around my neighbor’s home.
¹⁰ Then may my wife grind another man’s grain.
    May other men sleep with her.
¹¹ Wanting another woman would have been an evil thing.
    It would have been a sin that should be judged.
¹² It’s like a fire that burns down to the grave.
    It would have caused my crops to be pulled up by the roots.
