Job 16:14-22

14He 1breaks through me with breach after breach; He 2runs at me like a warrior.15I have sewed 3sackcloth over my skin, And 4thrust my horn in the dust.16My face is flushed from 5weeping, 6And deep darkness is on my eyelids,17Although there is no 7violence in my hands, And 8my prayer is pure.

18“Earth, do not cover my blood, And may there be no resting place for my cry.19Even now, behold, 9my witness is in heaven, And my 10advocate is 11on high.20My friends are my scoffers; 12My eye weeps to God,21That one might plead for a man with God As a son of man with his neighbor!22For when a few years are past, I shall go the way 13of no return.
