Job 31 — Context

24

"If I have put my confidence in gold, And called fine gold my trust,

25

If I have gloated because my wealth was great, And because my hand had secured so much;

26

If I have looked at the sun when it shone Or the moon going in splendor,

27

And my heart became secretly enticed, And my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

28

That too would have been an iniquity calling for judgment, For I would have denied God above.

29

"Have I rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy, Or exulted when evil befell him?

30

"No, I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking for his life in a curse.
