Job 31:27

so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

Job 31:27 · BSB

Job 31:27 in context

The verses around it, from Job 31.

23 For calamity from God terrifies me, and His splendor I cannot overpower.

24 If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,

25 if I have rejoiced in my great wealth because my hand had gained so much,

26 if I have beheld the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor,

27 so that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

28 this would also be an iniquity to be judged, for I would have denied God on high.

29 If I have rejoiced in my enemy’s ruin, or exulted when evil befell him—

30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for his life with a curse—

31 if the men of my house have not said, ‘Who is there who has not had his fill?’—
