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 mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or [if] I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
[Then] let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
For this [is] an heinous crime; yea, it [is] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judges.
For it [is] a fire [that] consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
