18“O earth, do not cover my blood; let my outcry find no resting place.19Even now, in fact, my witness is in heaven, and he that vouches for me is on high.20My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God,21that he would maintain the right of a mortal with God, as one does for a neighbor.22For when a few years have come, I shall go the way from which I shall not return.
