If I have walked in falsehood
or my foot has rushed to deceit,
let God weigh me on accurate scales,(A)
and he will recognize my integrity.(B)

If my step has turned from the way,
my heart has followed my eyes,
or impurity has stained my hands,(C)
let someone else eat what I have sown,
and let my crops be uprooted.(D)

    or let my crops be uprooted.”
