Read in context

Job 31:36–40 · Berean Standard Bible

36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown.

37 I would give account of all my steps; I would approach Him like a prince.)—

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

39 if I have devoured its produce without payment or broken the spirit of its tenants,

40 then let briers grow instead of wheat and stinkweed instead of barley.” Thus conclude the words of Job.
