“If I have walked with falsehood
    and my foot has hastened to deceit;
(Let me be (A)weighed in a just balance,
    and let God know my integrity!)
if my step has turned aside from the way
    and (B)my heart has gone after my eyes,
    and if any (C)spot has stuck to my hands,
then let me (D)sow, and another eat,
    and let what grows for me[a] be rooted out.

“If I have (A)walked with deception,
And my foot has hurried after deceit,
Let Him (B)weigh me with [a]accurate scales,
And let God know (C)my integrity.
If my step has (D)turned from the way,
Or my heart [b]followed my eyes,
Or if any (E)spot has stuck to my hands,
Let me (F)sow and another eat,
And let my [c](G)crops be uprooted.
