4. Does he not see my waysand count all my steps?
5. If I have walked in falsehood,and if my foot has hastened to deceit –
6. let him weigh me with honest scales;then God will discover my integrity.
7. If my footsteps have strayed from the way,if my heart has gone after my eyes,or if anything has defiled my hands,
8. then let me sow and let another eat,and let my crops be uprooted.
9. If my heart has been enticed by a woman,and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
10. then let my wife turn the millstone for another man,and may other men have sexual relations with her.
11. For I would have committed a shameful act,an iniquity to be judged.
12. For it is a fire that devours even to Destruction,and it would uproot all my harvest.
13. “If I have disregarded the right of my male servants or my female servantswhen they disputed with me,
14. then what will I do when God confronts me in judgment;when he intervenes, how will I respond to him?
15. Did not the one who made me in the womb make them?Did not the same one form us in the womb?
16. If I have refused to give the poor what they desired,or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17. If I ate my morsel of bread myself,and did not share any of it with orphans –
18. but from my youth I raised the orphan like a father,and from my mother’s wombI guided the widow!
