“If I have walked with falsehood,
Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,
[a]Let me be weighed on honest scales,
That God may know my (A)integrity.
If my step has turned from the way,
Or (B)my heart walked after my eyes,
Or if any spot adheres to my hands,
Then (C)let me sow, and another eat;
Yes, let my harvest be [b]rooted out.

“If I have walked with falseness,

and let God know my blamelessness.
If my steps have turned aside from the way,

and my hand has clung to a spot,
let me sow, and let another eat,
and let my crops be rooted out.
