Root it Out

If I have walked with falsehood;
my foot hastened
to deceit;
then
let me be weighed
 in a just balance;
let God know
my integrity.

If my step has turned aside
from the way;
my heart gone after
my eyes,
if any spot has stuck
to my hands,
then
let me sow;
another eat;
let what grows
for me
be rooted out

Root it out
Root it out
Turn it over
No matter how tall
No matter how green
No matter the flower
Or color of the fruit,
Go ahead
Root it out
What grows for me
Root it out
And just
Throw it on the pile

Job 31:5-8
