31. If the men of my tent said not, Who shall find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat? --
32. The stranger did not lodge without; I opened my doors to the pathway.
33. If I covered my transgressions as Adam, 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! Behold my signature: let the Almighty answer me! And let mine opponent write an accusation!
36. Would I not take it upon my shoulder? I would bind it on to me as a crown;
37. I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I come near to him.
38. If my land cry out against me, and its furrows weep together;
39. If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have tormented to death the souls of its owners:
40. Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and tares instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
