Job 31:24-34
New International Version
Job 31:24-34
New International Version
24 “If I have put my trust in gold(A)
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’(B)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,(C)
the fortune my hands had gained,(D)
26 if I have regarded the sun(E) in its radiance
or the moon(F) moving in splendor,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed(G)
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,(H)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,(I)
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.(J)
29 “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune(K)
or gloated over the trouble that came to him(L)—
30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life(M)—
31 if those of my household have never said,
‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’(N)—
32 but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler(O)—
33 if I have concealed(P) my sin as people do,[a]
by hiding(Q) my guilt in my heart
34 because I so feared the crowd(R)
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent(S) and would not go outside—

- Job 31:33 Or as Adam did
Job 31:24-34
King James Version
Job 31:24-34
King James Version
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
