38. If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; 39. If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: 40. Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

My land cry. Job closes his argument with an avowal regarding his honesty in property matters. Job appeals to the very earth he has cultivated to vindicate him. He wonders whether the ground has any complaint against him.
