Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—

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;

διοτι μηπως εφοβουμην μεγα πληθος, η με ετρομαζεν η καταφρονησις των οικογενειων, ωστε να σιωπησω και να μη εκβω εκ της θυρας;

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?
