If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;
26
If I have seen the sun when it shined, Or the moon moving in splendor,
27
And my heart has been secretly enticed, My hand threw a kiss from my mouth:
28
This also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God who is above.
29
"If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;
30
(Yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);
31
If the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?'
32
(The sojourner has not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33
If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34
Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and didn't go out of the door--
35
Oh that I had one to hear me! (Behold, here is my signature, let Shaddai answer me); Let the accuser write my indictment!
