Job 31:35

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

(Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.

In context

33 if I have covered my transgressions like Adam by hiding my guilt in my heart,

34 because I greatly feared the crowds and the contempt of the clans terrified me, so that I kept silent and would not go outside—

35 (Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.

36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown.

37 I would give account of all my steps; I would approach Him like a prince.)—
