Job 31:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 31:33

31 If the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?’

32 ^a(But no sojourner had to lodge in the street,
For I have opened my doors to the¹ traveler);

33 If I have covered my transgressions ^aas Adam,
By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,

34 Because I feared the great ^amultitude,
And dreaded the contempt of families,
So that I kept silence
And did not go out of the door—

35 ^aOh, that I had one to hear me!
Here is my mark.
Oh, ^bthat the Almighty would answer me,
That my¹ Prosecutor had written a book!

36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder,
And bind it on me like a crown;

37 I would declare to Him the number of my steps;
Like a prince I would approach Him.
