King James Bible
If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

American Standard Version
If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;

Young's Literal Translation
If against me my land doth cry out, And together its furrows weep,

Job 31:38 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

If my land cry - The most careless reader may see that the introduction of this and the two following verses here, disturbs the connection, and that they are most evidently out of their place. Job seems here to refer to that law, Leviticus 25:1-7, by which the Israelites were obliged to give the land rest every seventh year, that the soil might not be too much exhausted by perpetual cultivation, especially in a country which afforded so few advantages to improve the arable ground by manure. He, conscious that he had acted according to this law, states that his land could not cry out against him, nor its furrows complain. He had not broken the law, nor exhausted the soil.
