Job 16:17 Context
15I haue sowed sackcloth vpon my skin, and defiled my horne in the dust. 16My face is fowle with weeping, and on mine eye-lids is the shadow of death; 17Not for any iniustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. 18O earth couer not thou my blood, and let my cry haue no place. 19Also now, behold my witnesse is in heauen, and my record is on high.
