Job 16:14-22

14He breaks me with breach upon breach; he runs upon me like a warrior.

15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin and have laid my strength in the dust.

16My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is deep darkness,

17although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

18"O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry find no resting place.

19Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he who testifies for me is on high.

20My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God,

21that he would argue the case of a man with God, as a son of man does with his neighbor.

22For when a few years have come I shall go the way from which I shall not return.
