31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
Voice Reading
31:2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
Voice Reading
31:3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
Voice Reading
31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
Voice Reading
31:5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
Voice Reading
31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
Voice Reading
31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
Voice Reading
31:8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
Voice Reading
31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
Voice Reading
31:10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
Voice Reading
31:11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.

Voice Reading
31:17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

Voice Reading
31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
Voice Reading
31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
Voice Reading
31:22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
Voice Reading
31:23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
