← Job 31:34	Job 31:35 (KJV)	Job 31:36 →
Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door?	Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire [is, that] the Almighty would answer me, and [that] mine adversary had written a book.	Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, [and] bind it [as] a crown to me.
