Job 31:18-31
-
18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
-
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
-
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
-
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
-
22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
-
23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
-
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
-
25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
-
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
-
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
-
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
-
29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
-
30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
-
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
