Job 31:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version

6 If God would use accurate scales,[a]
    he would know that I am innocent.
7 If I ever stepped off the right path,
    if my eyes led my heart to do evil,
    or if my hands are dirty with sin,
8 then let others eat what I planted.
    Let my crops be pulled up by the roots.
