If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,
and because my hand had gotten much;
If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,
and because my hand had gotten much;
Job 31:22–28
then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade,
and my arm be broken from the bone.
For calamity from God is a terror to me.
Because of his majesty, I can do nothing.
“If I have made gold my hope,
and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’
If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,
and because my hand had gotten much;
if I have seen the sun when it shined,
or the moon moving in splendor,
and my heart has been secretly enticed,
and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth;
this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
for I would have denied the God who is above.
