Job 31:39

Verse 39 of 40. The 31st of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

35oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!

36Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and I would bind it to me as a crown.

37I would declare to him the number of my steps. I would go near to him like a prince.

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

39if I have eaten its fruits without money, or have caused its owners to lose their life,

40let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.
