Job 16:17-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
17Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure. 18'Earth, do not cover my blood, And may there be no resting place for my cry. 19Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And my advocate is on high. 20My friends are my scoffers; My eye weeps to God, 21That one might plead for a man with God As a son of man with his neighbor!King James Version
Chapter 16
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!Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 16
17although my hands are free from violence and my prayer is pure. 18Earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help find no resting place. 19Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is in the heights! 20My friends scoff at me as I weep before God. 21I wish that someone might argue for a man with God just as anyone would for a friend.New Living Translation
