Job 31:38–40

“If my land has cried out against me

and its furrows have wept together,

if I have eaten its yield without payment

and made its owners breathe their last,

let thorns grow instead of wheat,

and foul weeds instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.

“if my land cries out against me

and all its furrows are wet with tears,

if I have devoured its yield without payment

or broken the spirit of its tenants,

then let briers come up instead of wheat

and stinkweed instead of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.

If my land cries out against me

and its furrows join in weeping,

if I have consumed its produce without payment

or shown contempt for its tenants,

then let thorns grow instead of wheat

and stinkweed instead of barley.

The words of Job are concluded.

“If my land accuses me

and all its furrows cry out together,

or if I have stolen its crops

or murdered its owners,

then let thistles grow on that land instead of wheat,

and weeds instead of barley.”

Job’s words are ended.

If my land has cried out against me,

and its furrows have wept together,

if I have eaten its yield without payment,

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

let thorns grow in place of wheat

and noxious weeds in place of barley.”

The words of Job are ended.

If my land cry against me,

Or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money,

Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

Let thistles grow instead of wheat,

And cockle instead of barley.

The words of Job are ended.
