Job 31:8

“then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.”

Verse in context — Job 31

(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);

if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have laid wait at my neighbor's door,

then let my wife grind for another, and let others sleep with her.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
