“The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.”
If I have concealed my sin like men, hiding my iniquity in my bosom, establishing Job's final claim: that if he has hidden sin like humans commonly do, concealing wrongdoing in himself. The concealing like men suggests the universal human tendency to hide sin. The hiding in the bosom suggests keeping secret what should be confessed. The verse sets up the final conditional structure.
