Job 16:21

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

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

18“Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.

19Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.

20My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,

21that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!

22For when a few years have come, I will go the way of no return.
