Job 31:7

Job's Final Defense Continued

⁶ (Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness:) ⁷ If my steps have been turned out of the way, or if my heart went after my eyes, or if the property of another is in my hands; ⁸ Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.
