21. if I have lifted my hand against the orphans,when I saw that I had help in the city gate—
22. may my arm fall from my shoulder,my forearm be broken at the elbow—
23. for God’s calamity is terror to me;I couldn’t endure his splendor.
24. If I’ve made gold my trust,said to fine gold: "My security!"
25. if I’ve rejoiced because my wealth was great,when my hand found plenty;
26. if I’ve looked at the sun when it shone,the moon, splendid as it moved;
27. and my mind has been secretly enticed,and threw a kiss with my hand,
28. that also is a punishable offense,because I would then be disloyal to God above.
29. If I have rejoiced over my foes’ ruinor was excited when evil found them,
30. I didn’t let my mouth sinby asking for their life with a curse.
31. Surely those in my tent never said:"Who has been filled by Job’s food?"
32. A stranger didn’t spend the night in the street;I opened my doors to the road.
33. If I have hidden my transgressions like Adam,concealing my offenses inside me
34. because I feared the large crowd;the clan’s contempt frightened me;I was quiet and didn’t venture outside.
