2 For what has God above chosen for us?What is our inheritance from the Almighty on high?
3 Isn’t it calamity for the wickedand misfortune for those who do evil?
4 Doesn’t he see everything I doand every step I take?
5 “Have I lied to anyoneor 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.
