Job 31:1-12

“I have made a covenant (agreement) with my eyes; How then could I gaze [lustfully] at a virgin? “For what is the portion I would have from God above, And what heritage from the Almighty on high? “Does not tragedy fall [justly] on the unjust And disaster to those who work wickedness? “Does not God see my ways And count all my steps? ¶“If I have walked with falsehood, Or if my foot has chased after deceit, Oh, let Him weigh me with accurate scales, And let God know my integrity. “If my step has turned away from the way [of God], Or if my heart has [covetously] followed my eyes, Or if any spot [of guilt] has stained my hands, Then let me plant and [let] another eat [from the results of my labor], And let my crops be uprooted and ruined. ¶“If my heart has been enticed and I was made a fool by a woman, Or if I have [covetously] lurked at my neighbor’s door [until his departure], Let my wife grind [meal, like a bond slave] for another [man], And let others kneel down over her. “For adultery is a heinous and lustful crime; Moreover, it would be a sin punishable by the judges. [Deut 22:22; John 8:5] “For it is a fire which consumes to Abaddon (destruction, ruin, final torment); And [illicit passion] would burn and rage and uproot all my [life’s] increase [destroying everything].
