- 1I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a virgin?
- 2For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?
- 3Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?
- 4Doth not he see my ways, And number all my steps?
- 5If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit;
- 6(Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);
- 7If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:
- 8Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
- 9If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;
- 10Then let my wife grind unto another, And let others bow down upon her.
- 11For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
- 12For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction, And would root out all mine increase.
- 13If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;
- 14What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
- 15Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

- 16If I have withheld the poor from [supplied: their] desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
- 17Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
- 18(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother's womb);

- 19If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;
- 20If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
- 21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:
- 22Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.
- 23For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
- 24If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, [supplied: Thou art] my confidence;
- 25If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;
- 26If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,
- 27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, And my mouth hath kissed my hand:
- 28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God that is above.
- 29If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;
- 30(Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);
- 31If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?
- 32(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);
- 33If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,
- 34Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door-
