Job 31:25

²³ For calamity from God terrifies me, and His splendor I cannot overpower.

²⁴ If I have put my trust in gold or called pure gold my security,

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,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
