34. because I dreaded the great multitude, and the contempt of clans terrified me, so that I kept quiet, I did not go out of the doorway?
35. O that I had someone hearing me! Here is my signature; let Shaddai answer me! As for the written communication that my adversary has written,
36. I would surely carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me like a crown.
37. I would give him an account of my steps; I would approach him like a noble.
38. If my land has cried out against me, and its furrows have wept together,
39. if I have eaten its yield without payment, or I have caused the breath of its owners to die,
40. let thorns grow in place of wheat and noxious weeds in place of barley.” The words of Job are ended.
