Job 31:38-40

New International Reader's Version

³⁸ “Suppose my land cries out against me.
    And all its soil is wet with tears.
³⁹ Suppose I’ve used up its crops without paying for them.
    Or I’ve broken the spirit of its renters.
⁴⁰ Then let thorns grow instead of wheat.
    Let stinkweed come up instead of barley.”
