Job 31:35-37
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
35 O that I had one to hear me!
(Here is my signature! Let the Almighty[a] answer me!)
O that I had the indictment written by my adversary!(A)
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder;
I would bind it on me like a crown;
37 I would give him an account of all my steps;
like a prince I would approach him.(B)

Job 31:35-37
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]
