Job 31:38-40
Common English Bible
Abuse of the land
38 If my land has cried out against me,
its rows wept together;
39 if I have eaten its yield without payment
and caused its owners grief,
40 may briars grow instead of wheat,
poisonous weeds instead of barley.
Job’s words are complete.
Job 31:38-40
New International Version
38 “if my land cries out against me(A)
and all its furrows are wet(B) with tears,
39 if I have devoured its yield without payment(C)
or broken the spirit of its tenants,(D)
40 then let briers(E) come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed(F) instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.(G)
