³⁸     If my land cries out against me,
        if my furrows gather together to weep over my mistreatment of them,
³⁹     If I have eaten the fruit of the land
        without payment to those who tend it
        or exasperated the lives of its tenants, the farmers, in pursuit of greater harvest, or in poor management of them;
⁴⁰     Then let thistles grow instead of wheat
        and stinkweed instead of barley.
