Job 31

31  If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?

32  (The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);

33  If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,

34  Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door-

35  Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); And `that I had' the indictment which mine adversary hath written!

36  Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:

37  I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.

38  If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;

39  If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

40  Let thistles grow instead of wheat, And cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
