Job 31:29 in context

The verses around it, from Job 31.

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,

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—

33 if I have covered my transgressions like Adam by hiding my guilt in my heart,
