Olam 2

<i>Then</i> let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

For destruction <i>from</i> God <i>was</i> 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, <i>Thou art</i> my confidence;

If I rejoiced because my wealth <i>was</i> great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking <i>in</i> brightness;

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

This also <i>were</i> an iniquity <i>to be punished by</i> the judge: for I should have denied the God <i>that is</i> above.

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

Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
