34 if I feared a great multitude or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and did not go out of the door?
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.
36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder and bind it as a crown to me.
37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince I would go near unto him.
38 If my land cries against me and all its furrows likewise complain;
39 if I ate of its strength without money or have afflicted the soul of its owners;
40 let thistles grow up unto me instead of wheat and stinkweed instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
