Iyov 31:32-40 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

32. The stranger did not spend the night in the street, but I opened my delet to the ger.

33. If I concealed my peysha like Adam, by hiding mine avon in my heart,

34. Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of mishpekhot terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of doors?

35. Oh that one would hear me! See, my tav [signature], that Shaddai would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a sefer [of indictment];

36. Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder, and bind it to me like atarot (crowns).

37. I would declare unto Him the number of my steps; like a nagid (prince) would I go near unto Him.

38. If my adamah cry against me, or if the furrows had wept together,

39. If I have eaten the yield thereof without kesef (payment), or have broken the nefesh of the tenants thereof,

40. Let thistles grow instead of chittim (wheat), and weed instead of barley. The divrei Iyov are ended.
