In context
6 (let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);
7 if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,
8 then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
9 “If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door,
10 then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime. Yes, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
12 for it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
