Job 31:19-34

19If I have seen anyone about to perish for lack of clothing, or a poor man without a coat,

20whose heart did not bless me as he warmed himself with the fleece of my sheep,

21if I have raised my hand to vote against the orphan, when I saw my support in the court,

22then let my arm fall from the shoulder, let my arm be broken off at the socket.

23For the calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his majesty I was powerless.

24“If I have put my confidence in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security!’

25if I have rejoiced because of the extent of my wealth, or because of the great wealth my hand had gained,

26if I looked at the sun when it was shining, and the moon advancing as a precious thing,

27so that my heart was secretly enticed, and my hand threw them a kiss from my mouth,

28then this also would be iniquity to be judged, for I would have been false to God above.

29If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemy or exulted because calamity found him –

30I have not even permitted my mouth to sin by asking for his life through a curse –

31if the members of my household have never said, ‘If only there were someone who has not been satisfied from Job’s meat!’ –

32But no stranger had to spend the night outside, for I opened my doors to the traveler –

33if I have covered my transgressions as men do, by hiding iniquity in my heart,

34because I was terrified of the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I remained silent and would not go outdoors –
