Job 31

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

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

23  For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.

24  If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, `Thou art' my confidence;

25  If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;

26  If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,

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

28  This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God that is above.

29  If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;

30  (Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);
