Job 31:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 Or had I rejoiced that my wealth was great,
or that my hand had acquired abundance—

or the moon in the splendor of its progress,
27 And had my heart been secretly enticed
to blow them a kiss with my hand,

- 31:26–28 Light: of the sun. Job never sinned by worshiping the sun or the moon. Blow them a kiss: an act of idolatrous worship.
