31If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?

32(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);

34Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door-

35Oh 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!

36Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown:

37I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.
