if like Adam I have covered my transgressions,
by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
if like Adam I have covered my transgressions,
by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
Job 31:30–36
(I have certainly not allowed my mouth to sin
by asking his life with a curse);
if the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?’
(the foreigner has not camped in the street,
but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
if like Adam I have covered my transgressions,
by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
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—
oh that I had one to hear me!
Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!
Let the accuser write my indictment!
Surely I would carry it on my shoulder,
and I would bind it to me as a crown.
