King James Version

Job 31:20-28

20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

22Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.1

23For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

24If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

25If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;2

26If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;34

27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:5

28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
