Job 31:21-31

1. 21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

2. 22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

3. 23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

4. 24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

5. 25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

6. 26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

7. 27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

8. 28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

9. 29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

10. 30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

11. 31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
