Job 31:34
World English Bible (WEB)
because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—
In context
32 (the foreigner has not camped in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33 if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34 because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—
35 oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and I would bind it to me as a crown.
