Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.

Verse 36 is found in chapter 31 of Job. Job ends his defense by wishing that someone would respond to his declaration of innocence. He wants his accusation written and formally presented, as though he carried an authoritative sign upon himself. He then again describes his treatment of the land and ends his words. The structure marks the conclusion of his great defense before Elihu’s intervention.

Wahrlich, dann wollte ich sie auf meine Achsel nehmen und mir wie eine Krone umbinden;
Ciertamente yo lo llevaría sobre mi hombro, Y me lo ataría en lugar de corona.
Ciertamente la llevaría sobre mi hombro y me la ceñiría como una corona.
Je porterai son écrit sur mon épaule, Je l'attacherai sur mon front comme une couronne;
Se io non la porto in su la spalla, E non me la lego attorno a guisa di bende.
Por certo que o levaria sobre o meu ombro, sobre mim o ataria por coroa.
我必把它帶在肩上, 綁在頭上為冠冕。
