Job 31:33-40

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

33“Have I covered my wrongdoings like a man,
By hiding my guilt in my shirt pocket,
34Because I feared the great multitude
And the contempt of families terrified me,
And I kept silent and did not go out of doors?
35“Oh that I had one to hear me!
Here is my signature;
Let the Almighty answer me!
And the indictment which my adversary has written,
36I would certainly carry it on my shoulder,
I would tie it to myself like a garland.
37“I would declare to Him the number of my steps;
Like a prince, I would approach Him.
38“If my land cries out against me,
And its furrows weep together;
39If I have eaten its fruit without money,
Or have caused its owners to lose their lives,
40May the thorn-bush grow instead of wheat,
And stinkweed instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.
