Job 31:34-36

Common English Bible

³⁴     because I feared the large crowd;
        the clan’s contempt frightened me;
    I was quiet and didn’t venture outside.

³⁵ Oh, that I had someone to hear me!
    Here’s my signature;^[a]
    let the Almighty respond,
    and let my accuser write an indictment.
³⁶ Surely I would bear it on my shoulder,
    tie it around me like a wreath.
