Job 31:35-40 Modern English Version (MEV)

35. “Oh, that one would hear me!Behold, my desire is that the Almighty would answer me,and that the One who contends against me had written a book!

36. Surely I would carry it on my shoulderand bind it on me like a crown.

37. I would declare to Him the number of my steps;like a prince I would approach Him.

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

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

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