20 and their hearts did not bless mefor warming them with the fleece from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,knowing that I had influence in court,
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,let it be broken off at the joint.
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,and for fear of his splendour I could not do such things.
24 ‘If I have put my trust in goldor said to pure gold, “You are my security,”
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,the fortune my hands had gained,
26 if I have regarded the sun in its radianceor the moon moving in splendour,
