36. I would surely carry it on my shoulderand wear it like a crown.
37. I would give Him an account of all my steps;I would approach Him like a prince.
38. If my land cries out against meand its furrows join in weeping,
39. if I have consumed its produce without paymentor shown contempt for its tenants,
40. then let thorns grow instead of wheatand stinkweed instead of barley.The words of Job are concluded.
