|
# I have made a covenant with my eyes
|
|
|
|
Job speaks of making a promise about what he would look at as though his eyes were a person and he made a covenant with them. AT: "I have made a firm promise about what I will look at" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

|
# I have made a covenant with my eyes
|
|
|
|
What job promised can be stated clearly. AT: "I made a promise that I will not look lustfully on a virgin" or "I promised that I will not look lustfully on a virgin" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# how then should I look with desire on a virgin?
|
|
|
|
Job uses this question to emphasize that he would never break his promise. AT: "So I certainly will not look with lust at a virgin." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

|
# For what is the portion from God above, the inheritance from the Almighty on high?
|
|
|
|
Job speaks of God's response to people's behavior as if it were the portion of an inheritance that God gives. AT: "For how will God above respond to me? What will the Almighty on high do?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

# For what is the portion from God above, the inheritance from the Almighty on high?

AT: "For if I look lustfully on a woman, God Almighty on high will not bless me." or 2) that God will punish bad behavior. AT: "For if I look lustfully on a woman, God Almighty on high will certainly punish me." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
