New King James Version (NKJV)
Job 31
31 If the men of my tent have not said, ’Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?’
32 (But no sojourner had to lodge in the street, For I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33 If I have covered my transgressions as Adam, By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
34 Because I feared the great multitude, And dreaded the contempt of families, So that I kept silence And did not go out of the door--
35 Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my mark. Oh, that the Almighty would answer me, That my Prosecutor had written a book!
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, And bind it on me like a crown;
37 I would declare to Him the number of my steps; Like a prince I would approach Him.
38 "If my land cries out against me, And its furrows weep together;
39 If I have eaten its fruit without money, Or caused its owners to lose their lives;
40 Then let thistles grow instead of wheat, And weeds instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
Job 32
1 So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
