Job Chapter 31 Verse 36Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, [and] bind it [as] a crown to me.

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness;

And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge: for I should have denied the God [that is] above.

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

The stranger did not lodge in the street: [but] I opened my doors to the traveller.

If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door?

Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire [is, that] the Almighty would answer me, and [that] mine adversary had written a book.

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

If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they [were] elder than he.

When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I [am] young, and ye [are] very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
