SCRIPTURE

"If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:" — Job 31:7 (ASV)

If my step hath turned out of the way—The form of the expression is very emphatic: the narrow way of strict integrity and righteousness. (Compare the expression applied to the first believers in Acts 9:2—men of the way.)
