5 “If I have walked with falsehood

or my foot has hurried after deceit—

6 let God weigh me in honest scales

and he will know that I am blameless—

7 if my steps have turned from the path,

if my heart has been led by my eyes,

or if my hands have been defiled,

8 then may others eat what I have sown,

and may my crops be uprooted.

5 If I have walked with vanity,

Or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;

6 Let me be weighed in an even balance,

That God may know mine integrity.

7 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;

8 Then let me sow, and let another eat;

Yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

5 “Have I lied to anyone

or deceived anyone?

6 Let God weigh me on the scales of justice,

for he knows my integrity.

7 If I have strayed from his pathway,

or if my heart has lusted for what my eyes have seen,

or if I am guilty of any other sin,

8 then let someone else eat the crops I have planted.

Let all that I have planted be uprooted.

5 “If I have walked with falsehood,

Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,

6 Let me be weighed on honest scales,

That God may know my integrity.

7 If my step has turned from the way,

Or my heart walked after my eyes,

Or if any spot adheres to my hands,

8 Then let me sow, and another eat;

Yes, let my harvest be rooted out.

5 “If I have been dishonest

or lied to others,

6 then let God weigh me on honest scales.

Then he will know I have done nothing wrong.

7 If I have turned away from doing what is right,

or my heart has been led by my eyes to do wrong,

or my hands have been made unclean,

8 then let other people eat what I have planted,

and let my crops be plowed up.

5 If I have walked with falsehood,

And my foot hath hasted to deceit

6 (Let me be weighed in an even balance,

That God may know mine integrity);

7 If my step hath turned out of the way,

And my heart walked after mine eyes,

And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:

8 Then let me sow, and let another eat;

Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

5 If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot hath hasted to deceit, 6 (Let me be weighed in an even balance, and †God will take knowledge of my blamelessness;) 7 If my step have turned out of the way, and my heart followed mine eyes, and if any blot cleaveth to my hands; 8 Let me sow, and another eat; and let mine offspring be rooted out.

5 “If I have walked with lies 

or my feet have run after deception, 

6 ⸤then⸥ let God weigh me on honest scales, 

and he will know I have integrity. 

7 “If my steps have left the ⸤proper⸥ path, 

or my heart has followed ⸤the desire of⸥ my eyes, 

or my hands are stained ⸤with sin⸥, 

8 ⸤then⸥ let someone else eat what I have planted, 

and let my crops be uprooted. 

5 If I have walked in falsehood

or my foot has rushed to deceit,

6 let God weigh me in accurate scales,

and He will recognize my integrity.

7 If my step has turned from the way,

my heart has followed my eyes,

or impurity has stained my hands,

8 let someone else eat what I have sown,

and let my crops be uprooted.

5 “If I have walked with falsehood,

and my foot has hurried to deceit—

6 let me be weighed in a just balance,

and let God know my integrity!—

7 if my step has turned aside from the way,

and my heart has followed my eyes,

and if any spot has clung to my hands;

8 then let me sow, and another eat;

and let what grows for me be rooted out.

5 “If I have walked with falseness,

and my foot has hastened to deceit,

6 let him weigh me in the balance of justice,

and let God know my blamelessness.

7 If my steps have turned aside from the way,

and my heart has walked after my eyes,

and my hand has clung to a spot,

8 let me sow, and let another eat,

and let my crops be rooted out.

5 “I haven’t told any lies.

My feet haven’t hurried to cheat others.

6 So let God weigh me in honest scales.

Then he’ll know I haven’t done anything wrong.

7 Suppose my steps have turned away from the right path.

Suppose my heart has longed for what my eyes have seen.

Or suppose my hands have become ‘unclean.’

8 Then may others eat what I’ve planted.

May my crops be pulled up by the roots.

5 “If I have walked with falsehood,

And my foot has hastened after deceit,

6 Let Him weigh me with accurate scales,

And let God know my integrity.

7 “If my step has turned from the way,

Or my heart followed my eyes,

Or if any spot has stuck to my hands,

8 Let me sow and another eat,

And let my crops be uprooted.
