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
New Living Translation
35 “If only someone would listen to me!
Look, I will sign my name to my defense.
Let the Almighty answer me.
Let my accuser write out the charges against me.
36 I would face the accusation proudly.
I would wear it like a crown.
37 For I would tell him exactly what I have done.
I would come before him like a prince.
