35 Why doesn't God All-Powerfullisten and answer?If God has something against me,let him speak upor put it in writing!
36 Then I would wear his chargeson my clothes and forehead.
37 And with my head held high,I would tell him everythingI have ever done.
38 I have never ill-treatedthe land I farmedand made it mourn.
39 Nor have I cheatedmy workersand caused them pain.
40 If I had, I would prayfor weeds instead of wheatto grow in my fields.After saying these things,Job was silent.
