"if, as man does, I have hidden my sin and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom; "
— Job 31:33, Catholic Public Domain Version
“If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:”
“If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom, ”
“if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,”
“if I have covered my transgressions as men do, by hiding iniquity in my heart,”
“If as a man I have hid my sin, and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom.”
“If I kept my evil doings covered, and my sin in the secret of my breast,”
“If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:”
for I have not been given my throat to sin by asking for a curse on his soul;
if the men around my tabernacle have not said: “He might give us some of his food, so that we will be filled,”
for the foreigner did not remain at the door, my door was open to the traveler;
if, as man does, I have hidden my sin and have concealed my iniquity in my bosom;
if I became frightened by an excessive crowd, and the disrespect of close relatives alarmed me, so that I would much rather have remained silent or have gone out the door;
then, would he grant me a hearing, so that the Almighty would listen to my desire, and he who judges would himself write a book,
which I would then carry on my shoulder and wrap around me like a crown?
