Job 31:34-36

World English Bible

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 the Almighty 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.
