Job 31:34

Job's Final Defense Continued

³³ If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom; ³⁴ Because I feared the great multitude,
And the contempt of families terrified me,
And kept silent and did not go out of doors?
³⁵ Oh that someone would hear me! Behold, my mark is, that the Almighty will testify for me, even though my adversary had written down the charges.
