אִם הָלַכְתִּי עִם שָׁוְא וַתַּחַשׁ עַל מִרְמָה רַגְלִי: יִשְׁקְלֵנִי בְמֹאזְנֵי צֶדֶק וְיֵדַע אֱלוֹהַּ תֻּמָּתִי:
Have I walked with worthless people, or my feet hurried to deceit? Let God weigh me on the scale of justice; let God ascertain my integrity.
[AJWS translation]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. Are these two actions punishable crimes? If so, why do we rely on God to judge?
2. Who judges us today? How do we attempt to be judged favorably?
