Job 16:21

Verse 21 of 22. The 16th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

17Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

18O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.

19Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

20My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

21O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!

22When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
