27. And my heart hath been secretly enticed, and my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28. This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges: for I should have lied to God that is above.
29. If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him;
30. (Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse;)
31. If the men of my tent said not, Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his flesh?
32. The stranger did not lodge in the street; but I opened my doors to the traveller;
33. If like Adam I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom;
34. Because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door--
35. Oh that I had one to hear me! (lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me;) and that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
36. Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown.
