Does not he see my ways, and number all my steps?
5
"If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hastened to deceit;
6
(Let me be weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)
7
if my step has turned aside from the way, and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has cleaved to my hands;
8
then let me sow, and another eat; and let what grows for me be rooted out.
9
"If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door;
10
then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.
11
For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
12
for that would be a fire which consumes unto Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.
13
"If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me;
14
what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
