Job 31:24-31 New English Translation (NET)

24. “If I have put my confidence in goldor said to pure gold, ‘You are my security!’

25. if I have rejoiced because of the extent of my wealth,or because of the great wealth my hand had gained,

26. if I looked at the sun when it was shining,and the moon advancing as a precious thing,

27. so that my heart was secretly enticed,and my hand threw them a kiss from my mouth,

28. then this also would be iniquity to be judged,for I would have been false to God above.

29. If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemyor exulted because calamity found him –

30. I have not even permitted my mouth to sinby asking for his life through a curse –

31. if the members of my household have never said,‘If only there were someone who has not been satisfied from Job’s meat!’ –
