38 “if my land cries out against me

and all its furrows are wet with tears,

39 if I have devoured its yield without payment

or broken the spirit of its tenants,

40 then let briers come up instead of wheat

and stinkweed instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.

38 If my land cry against me,

Or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money,

Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat,

And cockle instead of barley.

The words of Job are ended.

38 “If my land accuses me

and all its furrows cry out together,

39 or if I have stolen its crops

or murdered its owners,

40 then let thistles grow on that land instead of wheat,

and weeds instead of barley.”

Job’s words are ended.

38 “If my land cries out against me,

And its furrows weep together;

39 If I have eaten its fruit without money,

Or caused its owners to lose their lives;

40 Then let thistles grow instead of wheat,

And weeds instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.

38 “If my land cries out against me

and its plowed rows are not wet with tears,

39 if I have taken the land’s harvest without paying

or have broken the spirit of those who worked the land,

40 then let thorns come up instead of wheat,

and let weeds come up instead of barley.”

The words of Job are finished.

38 If my land crieth out against me,

And the furrows thereof weep together;

39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money,

Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat,

And cockle instead of barley.

The words of Job are ended.

38 If my land cry out against me, and its furrows weep together; 39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have tormented to death the souls of its owners: 40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and tares instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

38 “If my land has cried out against me, 

and its furrows have wept.… 

39 If I have eaten its produce without paying for it 

and made its owners breathe their last, 

40 ⸤then⸥ let it grow thistles instead of wheat, 

and foul-smelling weeds instead of barley.” 

This is the end of Job’s words. 

38 If my land cries out against me

and its furrows join in weeping,

39 if I have consumed its produce without payment

or shown contempt for its tenants,

40 then let thorns grow instead of wheat

and stinkweed instead of barley.

The words of Job are concluded.

38 “If my land has cried out against me,

and its furrows have wept together;

39 if I have eaten its yield without payment,

and caused the death of its owners;

40 let thorns grow instead of wheat,

and foul weeds instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.

38 If my land has cried out against me,

and its furrows have wept together,

39 if I have eaten its yield without payment,

or I have caused the breath of its owners to die,

40 let thorns grow in place of wheat

and noxious weeds in place of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.

38 “Suppose my land cries out against me.

And all of its soil is wet with tears.

39 Suppose I’ve used up its crops without paying for them.

Or I’ve broken the spirit of its renters.

40 Then let thorns grow instead of wheat.

Let weeds come up instead of barley.”

The words of Job end here.

38 “If my land cries out against me,

And its furrows weep together;

39 If I have eaten its fruit without money,

Or have caused its owners to lose their lives,

40 Let briars grow instead of wheat,

And stinkweed instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.
