"If I made gold my hope, or if I ever said to the best gold, I have put my faith in you;"
— Job 31:24, Bible in Basic English
“If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;”
“ If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, Thou artmy confidence; ”
“"If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, 'You are my confidence;'”
““If I have put my confidence in gold or said to pure gold,‘You are my security!’”
If my hand had been lifted up against him who had done no wrong, when I saw that I was supported by the judges;
May my arm be pulled from my body, and be broken from its base.
For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.
If I made gold my hope, or if I ever said to the best gold, I have put my faith in you;
If I was glad because my wealth was great, and because my hand had got together a great store;
If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,
A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;
