No Trust in Wealth and Heavenly Bodies

24 “If I’ve put my confidence in gold,
    if I’ve told gold, ‘You’re my security,’
25 if I’ve found joy in great wealth that I own,
    if I’ve earned a lot with my own hands,
26 if I look at the sun[a] when it shines
    or the moon as it rises in steady splendor,
27 so that in the depths of my deceived heart
    I worshipped them with my mouth and hands,
28 this is also a sin that deserves to be judged,
    since I would have tried to deceive[b] God above.”
