Bible verse
then may another eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.
Job 31:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 31.
4 Does He not see my ways and count my every step?
5 If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit,
6 let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.
7 If my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has followed my eyes, or if impurity has stuck to my hands,
8 then may another eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.
9 If my heart has been enticed by my neighbor’s wife, or I have lurked at his door,
10 then may my own wife grind grain for another, and may other men sleep with her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime, an iniquity to be judged.
12 For it is a fire that burns down to Abaddon; it would root out my entire harvest.
