Job 31:35 CPDV

³³  if, as man does, I have hidden my sin and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom;

³⁴  if I became frightened by an excessive crowd, and the disrespect of close relatives alarmed me, so that I would much rather have remained silent or have gone out the door;

³⁵  then, would he grant me a hearing, so that the Almighty would listen to my desire, and he who judges would himself write a book,

³⁶  which I would then carry on my shoulder and wrap around me like a crown?

³⁷  With each of my steps, I would pronounce and offer it, as if to a prince.
