Job 16:17-19
Easy-to-Read Version

17 I was never cruel to anyone,
    and my prayers are pure.

18 “Earth, don’t hide the wrong things that were done to me.[a]
    Don’t let my begging for fairness be stopped.
19 Even now there is someone in heaven who will speak for me.
    There is someone above who will testify for me.
