26. if I looked at the sun when it shines or the moon moving in splendor,
27. so that my heart was secretly enticed, and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,
28. then this also would be iniquity to be judged, for I would have denied God above.
29. “If I rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune or gloated because calamity found him—
30. I have not allowed my mouth to sin, by asking for his life with a curse—
31. if anyone in my household has ever said, ‘Who has not been filled with his meat?’
32. —but no stranger had to spend the night outside for my door was open to the traveler—
33. if I have I covered my transgressions like Adam, by hiding my guilt in my bosom
34. because I feared a great multitude, and the contempt of clans terrified me, so that I kept silent and would not go outside.
35. O, that I had someone to hear me! Look, here is my signature, let Shaddai answer me, let the accuser write the indictment!
36. Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me as a crown.
37. I would give Him an account of my steps; like a prince I would approach Him.
