New International Version (NIV)

34because I so feared the crowd

and so dreaded the contempt of the clans

that I kept silent and would not go outside—

34Because I feared the great multitude

And the contempt of families terrified me,

And I kept silent and did not go out of doors?

34Because I feared the great multitude,

And the contempt of families terrified me,

And kept silent and did not go out of doors?

34Because I feared the great multitude,

And the contempt of families terrified me,

So that I kept silence and did not acknowledge my sin and did not go out of the door?

34because I greatly feared the crowds

and the contempt of the clans terrified me,

so that I kept silent

and would not go outside —

34I 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.
