Job 31:20-28
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.
