21. if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, even when I saw that they would all help me in the gate;
22. then let my back fall from my shoulder blade, and my arm be broken from its joint.
23. For I feared destruction from God, against whose highness I could have no power.
24. If I have made gold my hope or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25. if I rejoiced because my wealth was being multiplied, and because my hand had gotten much;
26. if I beheld the sun when it shone or the moon walking in beauty;
27. and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth kissed my hand;
28. this would also be a proven iniquity; for I should have denied the God that is sovereign.
29. If I rejoiced at the destruction of the one that hated me or lifted up myself when evil found him;
30. for I have never even suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse upon his soul;
31. when the servants of my tent said, Oh that we had of his flesh! We would never 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 my iniquity in my bosom;
34. if I feared a great multitude or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and did not go out of the door?
