Holy Scripture

Job 31:10

A church father on this verse
“He did not say, my eyes, but, my heart; I never allowed, he says, my thoughts to become corrupted, or my body either. This is exactly what Christ says: "He who has cast his glance upon a woman to desire her has already committed adultery in his heart."”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 31:8-10

8Then let me sow, and let others eat; And let me be uprooted on the earth.

9If my heart has gone forth after another man’s wife, And if I laid wait at her doors;

— Job 31:10 —

11For the rage of anger is not to be controlled, In the case of defiling another man’s wife.

12For it is a fire burning on every side, And whomsoever it attacks, it utterly destroys.
