"If I have put
my trust in gold or said to pure gold, 'You are my security,' if I have
rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune my hands had gained, if I
have regarded the sun in its radiance or the moon moving in splendor, so
that my heart was secretly enticed and my hand offered them a kiss of
homage, then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have
been unfaithful to God on high." (Job)
so that my heart was secretly enticed
Deuteronomy 11:16 Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
Job 24:15 "The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk; he thinks, 'No eye will see me.' and he keeps his face concealed." (Job)
James 1:13-15 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage
Jeremiah 8:1-2 " 'At that time, declares the LORD, the bones of the kings and officials of Judah, the bones of the priests and prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves. They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.' "
Jeremiah 16:10-11 "When you tell these people all this and they ask you, 'Why has the LORD decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the LORD our God?' then say to them, 'It is because your ancestors forsook me,' declares the LORD, 'and followed other gods and served and worshiped them. They forsook me and did not keep my law."
