- let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless-
- if my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled,
- then may others eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.
- "If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door,
- then may my wife grind another man's grain, and may other men sleep with her.

- Let Him weigh me with accurate scales, And let God know my integrity.
- "If my step has turned from the way, Or my heart followed my eyes, Or if any spot has stuck to my hands,
- Let me sow and another eat, And let my crops be uprooted.
- "If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or I have lurked at my neighbor's doorway,
- May my wife grind for another, And let others kneel down over her.
