24. If I placed my confidence in goldor called fine gold my trust,
25. if I have rejoiced because my wealth is greator because my own hand has acquired so much,
26. if I have gazed at the sun when it was shiningor at the moon moving in splendor,
27. so that my heart was secretly enticedand I threw them a kiss,
28. this would also be a crime deserving punishment,for I would have denied God above.
29. Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress,or become excited when trouble came his way?
