Job 31:39

Compare all

37 I would declare to Him the number of my steps;
Like a prince I would approach Him.

38 “If my land cries out against me,
And its furrows weep together;

39 If ^aI have eaten its fruit without money,
Or ^bcaused its owners to lose their lives;

40 Then let ^athistles grow instead of wheat,
And weeds instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.
