32 In/on/at/with_street not he _passed _the _night a _sojourner door_my to _the_traveler I _opened.
33 If I _have _concealed as_others transgressions_my by_hiding in/on/at/with_bosom_my my_perversity/evil/guilt/punishment.
34 DOM I _was _terrified _of a _multitude great and_contempt of _clans terrified_me and_kept _silent not I _went _outside [the]_door.
35 Who will _he _give to_me [one _who]_listens to_me here signature_my [the]_almighty answer_me and_indictment [which]_he _had _written the _person accuser_my.
36 If not on shoulder_my carry_it bind_it a _crown(s) to_me.
37 The _number steps_my give_him like a _chief approach_him.
38 If against_me land_my it _cried _out and_together furrows_its wept.
39 If her/its_vigor/produce[fn] I _have _eaten not money and_breath owners_its I _have _caused _to _breathe _out.
40 In _place _of wheat let _it _come _forth thornbush[es] and_instead _of barley foul _weed[s] they _are _finished the _words of _ʼIuōv.
