Job 31:24-28
Amplified Bible
24
“If I have put my trust and confidence in gold,
Or have declared fine gold my hope and assurance,
25
If I gloated and rejoiced because my wealth was great,
And because my [powerful] hand [alone] had obtained so much,
26
If I beheld the sun [as an object of worship] when it shone
Or the moon going in its splendor,
27
And my heart became secretly enticed [by them],
And my hand threw a kiss from my mouth [in respect to them],
28
This also would have been [a heinous] sin calling for judgment,
For I would have denied God above.(A)
Job 31:24-28
New International Version
24 “If I have put my trust in gold(A)
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’(B)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,(C)
the fortune my hands had gained,(D)
26 if I have regarded the sun(E) in its radiance
or the moon(F) moving in splendor,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed(G)
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,(H)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,(I)
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.(J)
