Job 16
17 yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure. 18 “Earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest! 19 Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high. 20 My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; 21 on behalf of a man he pleads with God as one pleads for a friend. 22 “Only a few years will pass before I take the path of no return.
