King James Version (KJV)

Job 31:27

“And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:”

Verse in context — Job 31

If I rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness;

And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge: for I should have denied the God [that is] above.

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
