35 O that one would hear me! If God is present, let him answer me, and let him write the sentence in a book.

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

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

38 Let the earth lament over me, let its furrows weep together,

39 If I have eaten its fruits without money; or if I have grieved one whose life is bitter,

40 Then let thistles grow instead of wheat and thorns instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
