"I have made a covenant with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman?
2
For what is the allotment of God from above, And the inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3
Is it not destruction for the wicked, And disaster for the workers of iniquity?
4
Does He not see my ways, And count all my steps?
5
"If I have walked with falsehood, Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,
6
Let me be weighed on honest scales, That God may know my integrity.
7
If my step has turned from the way, Or my heart walked after my eyes, Or if any spot adheres to my hands,
8
Then let me sow, and another eat; Yes, let my harvest be rooted out.
9
"If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door,
10
Then let my wife grind for another, And let others bow down over her.
11
For that would be wickedness; Yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.
12
For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction, And would root out all my increase.
