Job 31:34-36

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁴ Because I feared the great multitude and the contempt of families terrified me so that I kept silence and did not go out of the door—

³⁵ Oh, for a hearing! Oh, for an answer from the Almighty! Let my adversary write out His indictment [and put His vague accusations in tangible form] in a book!

³⁶ Surely I would [proudly] bear it on my shoulder and wind the scroll about my head as a diadem.
