Job 31:35LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 35 of 40

"Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire the Almighty would answer me, and mine adversary had written a book."
— Job 31:35

In context

33If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

34Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, went not out of the door?

35Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire the Almighty would answer me, and mine adversary had written a book.

36Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, bind it a crown to me.

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