“Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.”
Then let me sow and another eat; and let my crops be uprooted, invoking judgment in the form of agricultural loss—that another eat Job's harvest and his crops be destroyed—if Job has committed these moral failures. The sowing for another to eat represents the loss of labor's fruit. The uprooting of crops suggests total destruction. The verse specifies concrete consequences for moral failure.
