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)

and stinkweed(F) instead of barley.”

Job 31:38-40
International Standard Version
No Abuse of the Land
38 “If my land were to cry out against me
or if all its furrows wept as one,
39 If I’ve consumed its produce[a] without paying for it
and snuffed out the life of its owners;
40 may thorns spring up instead of wheat,
and obnoxious weeds instead of barley.”
