Job 16:15 Context

◄ Job 16:15 ►

I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.

Context

15“I have sewed sackcloth over my skin
And thrust my horn in the dust.

16“My face is flushed from weeping,
And deep darkness is on my eyelids,

17Although there is no violence in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.

18“O earth, do not cover my blood,
And let there be no resting place for my cry.

19“Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,
And my advocate is on high.

20“My friends are my scoffers;
My eye weeps to God.

21“O that a man might plead with God
As a man with his neighbor!

22“For when a few years are past,
I shall go the way of no return.
