XXXI] :My harp also is turned to mourning,
 * And my organ into the voice of them that weep.


 * I a covenant with mine eyes;
 * Why then should I think upon a maid?
 * For what portion of God is there from above?
 * And what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
 * Is not destruction to the wicked?
 * And a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
 * Doth not he see my ways,
 * And count all my steps?
 * If I have walked with vanity,
 * Or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
 * Let me be weighed in an even balance,
 * That God may know mine integrity.
 * 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;
 * Then let me sow, and let another eat;
 * Yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
 * If mine heart have been deceived by a woman,
 * Or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
 * Then let my wife grind unto another,
 * And let others bow down upon her.
 * For this is an heinous crime;
 * Yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
 * For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction,
