Job 31:38-40
Christian Standard Bible
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,[a]
40 then let thorns(A) grow instead of wheat
and stinkweed(B) instead of barley.
The words of Job are concluded.
