New International Reader's Version

Job 31:23-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

23. I was afraid God would destroy me. His glory terrifies me. So I'd never do things like that.

24. "Suppose I've put my trust in gold. I've said to pure gold, 'You make me feel secure.'

25. And I'm happy because I'm so wealthy. I'm glad because my hands have earned so much.

26. Suppose I've worshiped the sun in all of its glory. I've bowed down to the moon in all of its beauty.

27. My heart has been secretly tempted. My hand has thrown kisses to the sun and moon.
