Job 31:37

³⁵ (Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.

³⁶ Surely I would carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown.

I would give account of all my steps; I would approach Him like a prince.)—

³⁸ if my land cries out against me and its furrows weep together,

³⁹ if I have devoured its produce without payment or broken the spirit of its tenants,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
