SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:38

Si mi tierra clamara contra mí, y llorarán todos sus surcos;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 31:38

Verse 38. If my land
cry ] The most careless reader may see that the introduction of this and the two following verses here, disturbs the connection, and that they are most evidently out of their place. Job seems here to refer to that law, Lev. xxv. 1-7, by which the Israelites were obliged to give the land rest every seventh year, that the soil might not be too much exhausted by perpetual cultivation, especially in a country which afforded so few advantages to improve the arable ground by manure. He, conscious that he had acted according to this law, states that his land could not cry out against him, nor its furrows complain. He had not broken the law, nor exhausted the soil.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 33-40 - Job clears himself from the charge of
hypocrisy. We are loth to confes our faults, willing to excuse them, and to lay the blame upon others But he that thus covers his sins, shall not prosper, Pr 28:13. He speaks of his courage in what is good, as an evidence of his sincerit in it. When men get estates unjustly, they are justly deprived of comfort from them; it was sown wheat, but shall come up thistles. What men do not come honestly by, will never do them any good. The words of Job are ended. They end with a bold assertion, that, with respect to accusation against his moral and religious character as the cause for his sufferings, he could appeal to God. But, however confident Job was we shall see he was mistaken, chap. 40:4, 5; 1Jo 1:8. Let us all judg ourselves; wherein we are guilty, let us seek forgiveness in that bloo which cleanseth from all sin; and may the Lord have mercy upon us, an write his laws in our hearts __________________________________________________________________
