Job 31:32-34
New King James Version
32 (A)(But no sojourner had to lodge in the street,
For I have opened my doors to the [a]traveler);
33 If I have covered my transgressions (B)as[b] Adam,
By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
34 Because I feared the great (C)multitude,
And dreaded the contempt of families,
So that I kept silence
And did not go out of the door—
Job 31:32-34

32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34 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?

and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent(E) and would not go outside—
