Job 31:31-37
31
if the men of my household have never said,
‘Who has not had his fill of Job’s meat?’—
32
but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler—
33
if I have concealed my sin as men do,
by hiding my guilt in my heart
34
because I so feared the crowd
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent and would not go outside—
35
(“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
let my accuser put his indictment in writing.
36
Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,
I would put it on like a crown.
37
I would give him an account of my every step;
like a prince I would approach him.)—
