Job 16:19

¹⁷ yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.

¹⁸ O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.

Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.

²⁰ My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.

²¹ Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
