Job 31:35-39 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

35. "I wish someone would listen to me! I'm signing my name to everything I've said. I hope the Mighty One will give me his answer. I hope the one who brings charges against me will write them down.

36. I'll wear them on my shoulder. I'll put them on my head like a crown.

37. I'll give that person a report of every step I take. I'll approach him like a prince.

38. "Suppose my land cries out against me. And all of 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.
