Job 31:37

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.

If my land cries out against me,

and its furrows weep together;

if I have eaten its fruits without money,

or have caused its owners to lose their life,

let briers grow instead of wheat,

and stinkweed instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.
