Job 31:21-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

21. if I have raised my hand against an orphan because I saw my supporters at the gate,

22. then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.

23. Indeed, the disaster from God was a dread for me, and I was powerless because of his majesty.

24. “If I have made gold my trust, or I have called fine gold my security,

25. if I have rejoiced because my wealth was great or because my hand found a fortune,

26. if I looked at the sun when it shone or at the moon moving in splendor,

27. and I was secretly enticed, and my hand threw them a kiss,

28. this also is an iniquity to be judged, for I have deceived God above.

29. “If I have rejoiced at the ruin of the one who hated me or have exulted when evil overtook him—

30. no, I have not allowed my mouth to sin, to ask his life with a curse.
