31
If the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?'
32
(The sojourner has not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33
If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34
Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and didn't go out of the door--
35
Oh that I had one to hear me! (Behold, here is my signature, let Shaddai answer me); Let the accuser write my indictment!
36
Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; And I would bind it to me as a crown.
37
I would declare to him the number of my steps. As a prince would I go near to him.
38
If my land cries out against me, And the furrows of it weep together;
39
If I have eaten the fruits of it without money, Or have caused the owners of it to lose their life:
40
Let briars grow instead of wheat, And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Iyov are ended.
