"if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,"
— Job 31:33, World English Bible
“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 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:”
(yes, I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);
if the men of my tent have not said, 'Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?'
(the foreigner has not lodged in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);
if like Adam I have covered my transgressions, by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
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--
oh that I had one to hear me! (behold, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); let the accuser write my indictment!
Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; and I would bind it to me as a crown.
