Job 31:20-28

20If his heart 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, When I saw I had help in the gate;

22Then let my arm fall from my shoulder, Let my arm be torn from the socket.

23For destruction from God is a terror to me, And because of His magnificence I cannot endure.

24“If I have made gold my hope, Or said to fine gold, ‘You are my confidence’;

25If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gained much;

26If I have observed the sun when it shines, Or the moon moving in brightness,

27So that my heart has been secretly enticed, And my mouth has kissed my hand;

28This also would be an iniquity deserving of judgment, For I would have denied God who is above.
