Job 16:18-21

18The earth should not hide my blood! People should remember how I have suffered. They should not forget that I asked for justice.

19But even now, I know that I have a friend in heaven. He knows that I am not guilty. He speaks on my behalf.

20My friends have turned against me. I cry with many tears as I pray to God.

21I need someone to speak to God on my behalf. He should ask God not to punish me, as someone might try to help his friends.
