1. “I have made an agreement with my eyes.Then how can I look with lust at a virgin?
2. What would God above do ⌊to me⌋?What would be my inheritance from the Almighty on high?
3. Aren’t there catastrophes for wicked peopleand disasters for those who do wrong?
4. Doesn’t he see my waysand count all my steps?
5. “If I have walked with liesor my feet have run after deception,
6. ⌊then⌋ let God weigh me on honest scales,and he will know I have integrity.
7. “If my steps have left the ⌊proper⌋ path,or my heart has followed ⌊the desire of⌋ my eyes,or my hands are stained ⌊with sin⌋,
8. ⌊then⌋ let someone else eat what I have planted,and let my crops be uprooted.
9. “If I have been seduced by a womanor I have secretly waited near my neighbor’s door,
10. ⌊then⌋ let my wife grind for another ⌊man⌋,and let other ⌊men⌋ kneel over her.
11. That would be a scandal,and that would be a criminal offense.
12. It would be a fire that burns even in Abaddon.It would uproot my entire harvest.
13. “If I have abused the rights of my servants, male or female,when they have disagreed with me,
14. then what could I do if God rises up?If he examines me, how could I answer him?
15. Didn’t he who made me in my mother’s belly make them?Didn’t the same God form us in the womb?
