Asserting Innocence and Seeking an Advocate

Job 16:17-22

Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.

O earth, cover not thou my blood, And let my cry have noresting-place.

Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he that voucheth for me is on high.

My friends scoff at me: But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,

That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!

For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
