2. What has God above promised for people?What has the Almighty planned from on high?
3. It is ruin for evil peopleand disaster for those who do wrong.
4. God sees my waysand counts every step I take.
5. “If I have been dishonestor lied to others,
6. then let God weigh me on honest scales.Then he will know I have done nothing wrong.
7. If I have turned away from doing what is right,or my heart has been led by my eyes to do wrong,or my hands have been made unclean,
8. then let other people eat what I have planted,and let my crops be plowed up.
9. “If I have desired another womanor have waited at my neighbor’s door for his wife,
10. then let my wife grind another man’s grain,and let other men have sexual relations with her.
11. That would be shameful,a sin to be punished.
12. It is like a fire that burns and destroys;all I have done would be plowed up.
13. “If I have been unfair to my male and female slaveswhen they had a complaint against me,
14. how could I tell God what I did?What will I answer when he asks me to explain what I’ve done?
15. God made me in my mother’s womb, and he also made them;the same God formed both of us in our mothers’ wombs.
