3. Is not destruction held for the wicked and repudiation kept for those who work injustice?
4. Does he not examine my ways and number all my steps?
5. If I have walked in vanity, or if my foot has hurried towards deceitfulness,
6. let him weigh me in a just balance, and let God know my simplicity.
7. If my steps have turned aside from the way, or if my heart has followed my eyes, or if a blemish has clung to my hands,
8. then may I sow, and let another consume, and let my offspring be eradicated.
9. If my heart has been deceived over a woman, or if I have waited in ambush at my friend's door,
10. then let my wife be the harlot of another, and let other men lean over her.
11. For this is a crime and a very great injustice.
12. It is a fire devouring all the way to perdition, and it roots out all that springs forth.
13. If I have despised being subject to judgment with my servant or my maid, when they had any complaint against me,
14. then what will I do when God rises to judge, and, when he inquires, how will I respond to him?
15. Is not he who created me in the womb, also he who labored to make him? And did not one and the same form me in the womb?
