"so that my heart rejoiced in secret and I kissed my hand with my mouth, "
— Job 31:27, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:”
“And my heart hath been secretly enticed, And my mouth hath kissed my hand: ”
“and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,”
“so that my heart was secretly enticed, and my hand threw them a kiss from my mouth,”
“And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with my mouth:”
“A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;”
“And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:”
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,
for I have not been given my throat to sin by asking for a curse on his soul;
