Bible verse
this would also be an iniquity to be judged, for I would have denied God on high.
Job 31:28 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 31.
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?’—
32 but no stranger had to lodge on the street, for my door has been open to the traveler—
