Job 31:33-40 ▼

33 Haue I kept secrete my sinne, and hyd myne iniquitie, as Adam dyd?

34 Though I coulde haue made afeard a great multitude, yet the most contemptible of the families dyd feare me: so I kept scilence, and went not out of the doore.

35 O that I had one which woulde heare me: beholde my signe in the whiche the almightie shal aunswere for me, though he that is my contrarie partie hath written a booke against me.

36 Yet will I take it vpon my shoulder, & as a garlande binde it about my head.

37 I will tell hym the number of my goinges, & go vnto him as to a prince.

38 But if case be that my lande crye against me, or that the forowes thereof make any complaynt:

39 If I haue eaten the fruites therof vnpayed for, yea if I haue greeued the soules of the maisters therof:

40 Then let thystles growe in steede of my wheate, and cockle for my barlye.
