7. If my step have turned out of the way, and my heart followed mine eyes, and if any blot cleaveth to my hands;
8. Let me sow, and another eat; and let mine offspring be rooted out.
9. If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, so that I laid wait at my neighbour's door,
10. Let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.
11. For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity to be judged by the judges:
12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13. If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contended with me,
14. What then should I do when ·God riseth up? and if he visited, what should I answer him?
15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not One fashion us in the womb?
16. If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17. Or have eaten my morsel alone, so that the fatherless ate not thereof,
18. (For from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have guided the widow from my mother's womb;)
19. If I have seen any perishing for want of clothing, or any needy without covering;
20. If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my lambs;
21. If I have lifted up my hand against an orphan, because I saw my help in the gate:
22. Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone!
