1. I have made a solemn promisenever to look with lust at a woman.

2. What does Almighty God do to us?How does he repay human deeds?

3. He sends disaster and ruinto those who do wrong.

4. God knows everything I do;he sees every step I take.

6. Let God weigh me on honest scales,and he will see how innocent I am.

7. If I have turned from the right pathor let myself be attracted to evil,if my hands are stained with sin,

8. then let my crops be destroyed,or let others eat the food I grow.

9. If I have been attracted to my neighbour's wife,and waited, hidden, outside her door,

10. then let my wife cook another man's foodand sleep in another man's bed.
