Job 31:20-28

20Then I would give them clothes. The wool from my sheep would keep them warm. And they all thanked me.

21I have not turned against children who have no family, even when the city judges agreed with me.

22God should punish me if these things are not true. I would accept the punishment that I deserve.

23I was afraid of the trouble that God might bring to me. So I could not do these bad things, because God is so great and powerful.

24I have not trusted in money or in gold. I have never thought that they would make me strong.

25When I was very rich, I was not proud about it. I did not think that I had worked hard to deserve it.

26I have looked at the sun when it shines brightly. And I have seen the moon when it is very beautiful.

27But I have never wanted to worship them or to give them honour.

28If I had done that, I would not have been faithful to God in heaven. I would have deserved punishment for that sin.
