34. because I feared the great multitude,and the contempt of families terrified me,so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—
35. oh that I had one to hear me!Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!Let the accuser write my indictment!
36. Surely I would carry it on my shoulder;and I would bind it to me as a crown.
37. I would declare to him the number of my steps.as a prince would I go near to him.
38. If my land cries out against me,and its furrows weep together;
39. if I have eaten its fruits without money,or have caused its owners to lose their life,
40. let briers grow instead of wheat,and stinkweed instead of barley.”The words of Job are ended.
