Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

6Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity.

7If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;

8Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

9If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

10Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
