Job's Appeal to be Heard

Job 31:35-40

35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.

37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;i

39 If I have eaten the fruitsj thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cocklek instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
