International Standard Version

Request for A Hearing

35 “Who will grant me a hearing?
    Here’s my signature[a]—let the Almighty answer!
Since my adversary indicted me,
36 I’ll wear it on my shoulder,
        or tie it on my head for a crown!
37 I’ll give an account for every step I’ve taken;
    I’ll approach him confidently like a Commander-in-Chief.”[b]

As for[c] the written communication that my adversary[d] has written,

I would bind it on me like a crown.
37 I would give him an account of my steps;
I would approach him like a noble.
