Job 31:21-31 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

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 my arm be broken from the bone.

23. For calamity from God is a terror to me.Because his majesty, I can do nothing.

24. “If I have made gold my hope,and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’

25. If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,and because my hand had gotten much;

26. if I have seen the sun when it shined,or the moon moving in splendour,

27. and my heart has been secretly enticed,and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

28. this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;for I should have denied the God who is above.

29. “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me,or lifted up myself when evil found him

30. (yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sinby asking his life with a curse);

31. if the men of my tent have not said,‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’
