Job 31:25 — Meaning and Application

For destruction {from} God {was} a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, {Thou art} my confidence;

If I rejoiced because my wealth {was} great, and because mine hand had gotten much; {gotten...: Heb. found much}

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking {in} brightness; {sun: Heb. light} {in...: Heb. bright}

And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: {my mouth...: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
