Job 31:34 (WEB)
Context Reading
32(the foreigner has not camped in the street,but I have opened my doors to the traveler); 33if like Adam I have covered my transgressions,by hiding my iniquity in my heart, 34because I feared the great multitude,and the contempt of families terrified me,so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door — 35oh that I had one to hear me!Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!Let the accuser write my indictment! 36Surely I would carry it on my shoulder,and I would bind it to me as a crown.
