Job 31:32–36 · Berean Standard Bible

32 but no stranger had to lodge on the street, for my door has been open to the traveler—

33 if I have covered my transgressions like Adam by hiding my guilt in my heart,

34 because I greatly feared the crowds and the contempt of the clans terrified me, so that I kept silent and would not go outside—

35 (Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.

36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown.
