English Standard Version
Job 31:20-28
20if his body has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,
22then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.
23For I was in terror of calamity from God, and I could not have faced his majesty.
24"If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence,
25if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant or because my hand had found much,
26if I have looked at the sun when it shone, or the moon moving in splendor,
27and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand,
28this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have been false to God above.
