Job 16:14-22

14He breaks through against me, time and time again; he rushes against me like a warrior.

15I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and buried my horn in the dust;

16my face is reddened because of weeping, and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,

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

18“O earth, do not cover my blood, nor let there be a secret place for my cry.

19Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.

20My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;

21and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.

22For the years that lie ahead are few, and then I will go on the way of no return.
