New Testament

Job 31:20-28 American Standard Version (ASV)

20. If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

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.
