Job 16:16-22
New International Version
16 My face is red with weeping,(A)
dark shadows ring my eyes;(B)
17 yet my hands have been free of violence(C)
and my prayer is pure.(D)
18 “Earth, do not cover my blood;(E)
may my cry(F) never be laid to rest!(G)
19 Even now my witness(H) is in heaven;(I)
my advocate is on high.(J)
20 My intercessor(K) is my friend[a](L)
as my eyes pour out(M) tears(N) to God;
21 on behalf of a man he pleads(O) with God
as one pleads for a friend.
22 “Only a few years will pass
before I take the path of no return.(P)
