34 Because 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--
35 Oh that I had one to hear me! (Behold, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); Let the accuser write my indictment!
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; And I would bind it to me as a crown.
37 I would declare to him the number of my steps. As a prince would I go near to him.
38 If my land cries out against me, And the furrows of it weep together;
39 If I have eaten the fruits of it without money, Or have caused the owners of it to lose their life:
40 Let briars grow instead of wheat, And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
