- 1I made a covenant with mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid?
- 2For what would be the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
- 3Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
- 4Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps?
- 5If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit--
- 6Let me be weighed in a just 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 have been enticed unto a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbour'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 did despise 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 remembereth, 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 aught that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
- 17Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof--
- 18Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide from my mother's womb.

- 19If I have seen any wanderer in want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
- 20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not 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 was a terror to me, and by reason of His majesty I could do nothing.
- 24If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold: 'Thou art my confidence';
- 25If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
- 26If I 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 lied to God that is above.
- 29If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or exulted when evil found him--
- 30Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse.
- 31If the men of my tent said not: 'Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat?'
- 32The stranger did not lodge in the street; my doors I opened to the roadside.
- 33If after the manner of men I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom--
- 34Because I feared the great multitude, and the most contemptible among families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door.
