cockle

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(stinking). A weed that grows among grain; doubtless the tare, identified as darnel (Job 31:40⁴⁰Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. (Job 31:40)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Job asked that if he had done wickedly cockle might grow instead of barley; in the margin it reads “noisome weeds” (Job 31:40⁴⁰Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. (Job 31:40)). Some suppose the darnel is alluded to, as in Matthew 13:25²⁵But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. (Matthew 13:25).
