Job 31:28-36 Common English Bible (CEB)

28. that also is a punishable offense,because I would then be disloyal to God above.

29. If I have rejoiced over my foes’ ruinor was excited when evil found them,

30. I didn’t let my mouth sinby asking for their life with a curse.

31. Surely those in my tent never said:"Who has been filled by Job’s food?"

32. A stranger didn’t spend the night in the street;I opened my doors to the road.

33. If I have hidden my transgressions like Adam,concealing my offenses inside me

34. because I feared the large crowd;the clan’s contempt frightened me;I was quiet and didn’t venture outside.

35. Oh, that I had someone to hear me!Here’s my signature;let the Almighty respond,and let my accuser write an indictment.

36. Surely I would bear it on my shoulder,tie it around me like a wreath.
