If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;

Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.

If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;

Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

“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.

  1. Job 31:6 Lit. Let Him weigh me
  2. Job 31:8 uprooted

Har jag väl umgåtts med lögn, och har min fot varit snar till svek?

Nej, må jag vägas på en riktig våg, så skall Gud förnimma min ostrafflighet.

Hava mina steg vikit av ifrån vägen, har mitt hjärta följt efter mina ögon, eller låder vid min händer en fläck?

Då må en annan äta var jag har sått, och vad jag har planterat må ryckas upp med roten.
