Job 31:29-34

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress,
or become excited when trouble came his way?
³⁰ I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by asking for his life with a curse.
³¹ Haven’t the members of my household said,
“Who is there who has not had enough to eat at Job’s table?”
³² No stranger had to spend the night on the street,
for I opened my door to the traveler.
³³ Have I covered my transgressions^(A) as others do^[a]
by hiding my guilt in my heart,^(B)
34 because I greatly feared the crowds,
and the contempt of the clans terrified me,
so I grew silent and would not go outside?
