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.

37 I would declare to him the number of my steps. as a prince would I go near to him.
