6. let God weigh me in accurate scales, and He will recognize my integrity.
7. If my step has turned from the way,my heart has followed my eyes,or impurity has stained my hands,
8. let someone else eat what I have sown,and let my crops be uprooted.
9. If my heart has been seduced by my neighbor’s wifeor I have lurked at his door,
10. let my own wife grind grain for another man,and let other men sleep with her.
11. For that would be a disgrace;it would be a crime deserving punishment.
12. For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon;it would destroy my entire harvest.
13. If I have dismissed the case of my male or female servantswhen they made a complaint against me,
14. what could I do when God stands up to judge?How should I answer Him when He calls me to account?
15. Did not the One who made me in the womb also make them?Did not the same God form us both in the womb?
16. If I have refused the wishes of the pooror let the widow’s eyes go blind,
17. if I have eaten my few crumbs alonewithout letting the fatherless eat any of it —
18. for from my youth, I raised him as his father,and since the day I was born I guided the widow —
19. if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothingor a needy person without a cloak,
20. if he did not bless mewhile warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,
21. if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless childwhen I saw that I had support in the city gate,
22. then let my shoulder blade fall from my back,and my arm be pulled from its socket.
23. For disaster from God terrifies me,and because of His majesty I could not do these things.
24. If I placed my confidence in goldor called fine gold my trust,
25. if I have rejoiced because my wealth is greator because my own hand has acquired so much,
