Job 31:33–34

33 if I have concealed my sin as people do,

by hiding my guilt in my heart

34 because I so feared the crowd

and so dreaded the contempt of the clans

that I kept silent and would not go outside—

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?

33 “Have I tried to hide my sins like other people do,

concealing my guilt in my heart?

34 Have I feared the crowd

or the contempt of the masses,

so that I kept quiet and stayed indoors?

33 If I have covered my transgressions as Adam,

By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,

34 Because I feared the great multitude,

And dreaded the contempt of families,

So that I kept silence

And did not go out of the door—

33 I have not hidden my sin as others do,

secretly keeping my guilt to myself.

34 I was not so afraid of the crowd

that I kept quiet and stayed inside

because I feared being hated by other families.

33 If like Adam I have covered my transgressions,

By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,

34 Because I feared the great multitude,

And the contempt of families terrified me,

So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—

33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom, 34 Because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door, …

33 “If I have covered my disobedience like Adam 

and kept my sin to myself, 

34 because I dreaded the large, noisy crowd 

and because the contempt of the ⸤local⸥ mobs terrified me 

so that I kept quiet and didn’t go outside.… 

33 Have I covered my transgressions as others do

by hiding my guilt in my heart,

34 because I greatly feared the crowds,

and the contempt of the clans terrified me,

so I grew silent and would not go outside?

33 if I have concealed my transgressions as others do,

by hiding my iniquity in my bosom,

34 because I stood in great fear of the multitude,

and the contempt of families terrified me,

so that I kept silence and did not go out of doors—

33 Have I concealed my transgressions as other human beings

to hide my iniquity in my bosom

34 because I dreaded the great multitude,

and the contempt of clans terrified me,

so that I kept quiet, I did not go out of the doorway?

33 I didn’t hide my sin as others do.

I didn’t hide my guilt in my heart.

34 I was never afraid of the crowd.

I never worried that my relatives might hate me.

I didn’t have to keep quiet or stay inside.

33 “Have I covered my transgressions like Adam,

By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,

34 Because I feared the great multitude,

And the contempt of families terrified me,

And kept silent and did not go out of doors?
