Job 31:34
“because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn't go out of the door--”
Verse in context — Job 31
32
(the foreigner has not lodged in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33
if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34
because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn't go out of the door--
35
oh that I had one to hear me! (behold, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); let the accuser write my indictment!
36
Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; and I would bind it to me as a crown.
