4. God knows everything I do;he sees every step I take.
5. I swear I have never acted wickedlyand never tried to deceive others.
6. Let God weigh me on honest scales,and he will see how innocent I am.
7. If I have turned from the right pathor let myself be attracted to evil,if my hands are stained with sin,
8. then let my crops be destroyed,or let others eat the food I grow.
9. If I have been attracted to my neighbour's wife,and waited, hidden, outside her door,
10. then let my wife cook another man's foodand sleep in another man's bed.
11. Such wickedness should be punished by death.
12. It would be like a destructive, hellish fire,consuming everything I have.
13. When any of my servants complained against me,I would listen and treat them fairly.
14. If I did not, how could I then face God?What could I say when God came to judge me?
15. The same God who created mecreated my servants also.
16. I have never refused to help the poor;never have I let widows live in despair
