Job 31:34-36

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

³⁴because I greatly feared the crowds
and because the contempt of the clans terrified me,
so I grew silent and would not go outside?

³⁵If only I had someone to hear my case!^(A)
Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me.
Let my Opponent compose his indictment.
³⁶I would surely carry it on my shoulder
and wear it like a crown.^(B)
