In context
29 If I was glad at the trouble of my hater, and gave cries of joy when evil overtook him;
30 (For I did not let my mouth give way to sin, in putting a curse on his life;)
31 If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?
32 The traveller did not take his night's rest in the street, and my doors were open to anyone on a journey;
33 If I kept my evil doings covered, and my sin in the secret of my breast,
34 For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;
35 If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!
