Turn

It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot,

when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it.”

Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king’s house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance.

“I have made a covenant with my eyes;
How then could I gaze at a virgin?

Let your eyes look directly ahead
And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.

For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejects unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;

but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

When it sparkles in the cup,
When it goes down smoothly;
