"if I gazed upon the sun when it shined and the moon advancing brightly, "
— Job 31:26, Catholic Public Domain Version
“If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;”
“If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness, ”
“if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,”
“if I looked at the sun when it was shining, and the moon advancing as a precious thing,”
“If I beheld the sun when it shined and the moon going in brightness:”
“If, when I saw the sun shining, and the moon moving on its bright way,”
“If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;”
For I have always feared God, like waves flowing over me, whose weight I was unable to bear.
If I have considered gold to be my strength, or if I have called purified gold ‘my Trust;’
if I have rejoiced over my great success, and over the many things my hand has obtained;
if I gazed upon the sun when it shined and the moon advancing brightly,
so that my heart rejoiced in secret and I kissed my hand with my mouth,
which is a very great iniquity and a denial against the most high God;
if I have been glad at the ruin of him who hated me and have exulted that evil found him,
