What does Job 31:9 mean?
"“If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,"
— Job 31:9 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
“If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,
then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
