If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, ‘Thou art my confidence;’ if I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; if I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; and my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: this also were an iniquity to be punished by the Judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.”  Job 31:24-28  (KJB)
