New Testament

Job 31:34-40 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.
