Had I looked upon the sun as it shone, or the moon in the splendor of its progress,
And had my heart been secretly enticed to waft them a kiss with my hand;
This too would be a crime for condemnation, for I should have denied God above.
Had I put my trust in gold or called fine gold my security;
Or had I rejoiced that my wealth was great, or that my hand had acquired abundance.
If I have walked in falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit;
If my steps have turned out of the way, and my heart has followed my eyes, or any stain clings to my hands,
Let God weigh me in the scales of justice; thus will he know my innocence!
Bible: Book of Job vs 31 (portions)

Notes:
Job's final protestation of his innocence.
He never worship the sun of the moon.
He never walked in a lie and follow its teachings
