If I covered my transgressions

Job 31:33–40, “If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: 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? Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book. Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me. I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.”

Job wasn’t like Adam, who sinned against the Lord and then hid. Job didn’t blame other people for his sin like Adam. He wasn’t afraid of other people because he knew that he hadn’t done anything to hurt other people. He just wanted to be able to present his case to the Lord and show the Lord that he didn’t deserve the trouble he had been experiencing. He was happy to suffer for his sins but he didn’t believe that he should be suffering like this. After making his point, Job had said enough and stopped speaking.
