31:26. If I beheld the sun when it shined and the moon going in brightness:
If I beheld the sun, etc. . .If I behold the sun and moon with
admiration, knowing them to be created and governed by the power of
God, I call on my adversaries to produce any thing against me, whereby
I could be charged with worshipping the sun or moon.
31:27. And my heart in secret hath rejoiced, and I have kissed my hand with, my mouth:
31:28. Which is a very great iniquity, and a denial against the most high God.
31:29. If I have been glad at the downfall of him that hated me, and have rejoiced that evil had found him.
31:30. For I have not given my mouth to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul.
31:31. If the men of my tabernacle have not said: Who will give us of his flesh that we may be filled?
31:32. The stranger did not stay without, my door was open to the traveller.
31:33. If as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom.
31:34. If I have been afraid at a very great multitude, and the contempt of kinsmen hath terrified me: and have not rather held my peace, and not gone out of the door.
