Job 31:29
Compare all
27 So that my heart has been secretly enticed,
And my mouth has kissed my hand;
28 This also would be an iniquity deserving of judgment,
For I would have denied God who is above.
29 “Ifa I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me,
Or lifted myself up when evil found him 
30 a(Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin
By asking for a curse on his1 soul); 
31 If the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?’
32 a(But no sojourner had to lodge in the street,
For I have opened my doors to the1 traveler);
