New King James Version (NKJV)
Job 16
17 Although no violence is in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
18 "O earth, do not cover my blood, And let my cry have no resting place!
19 Surely even now my witness is in heaven, And my evidence is on high.
20 My friends scorn me; My eyes pour out tears to God.
21 Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, As a man pleads for his neighbor!
22 For when a few years are finished, I shall go the way of no return.
Job 17
1 "My spirit is broken, My days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.
2 Are not mockers with me? And does not my eye dwell on their provocation?
3 "Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who is he who will shake hands with me?
4 For You have hidden their heart from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them.
5 He who speaks flattery to his friends, Even the eyes of his children will fail.
