Job 31:26-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 if I have looked at the sun[a] when it shone
or the moon moving in splendor,(A)
27 and my heart has been secretly enticed,
and my mouth has kissed my hand,
28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
for I should have been false to God above.(B)

Job 31:26-28
International Standard Version
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.”
