Job 16:19 — Meaning and Application

Not for {any} injustice in mine hands: also my prayer {is} pure.

O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.

Also now, behold, my witness {is} in heaven, and my record {is} on high. {on high: Heb. in the high places}

My friends scorn me: {but} mine eye poureth out {tears} unto God. {scorn me: Heb. are my scorners}

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man {pleadeth} for his neighbour! {neighbour: or, friend}
