Revised Version 1895

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, because I saw my help in the gate:

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

23For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I could do nothing.

24If I have made gold my hope, and 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;

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

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

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