Job 16:18
Compare all
16 My face is1 flushed from weeping,
And on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 
17 Although no violence is in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.
18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,
And alet my cry have no resting place! 
19 Surely even now amy witness is in heaven,
And my evidence is on high. 
20 My friends scorn me;
My eyes pour out tears to God.
21 aOh, that one might plead for a man with God,
As a man pleads for his1 neighbor! 
22 For when a few years are finished,
I shall ago the way of no return.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Job 16:17   Job 16:19 >>


Job 16:18

Earth - The earth is said to cover that blood, which lies undiscovered and unrevenged: but saith Job, if I be guilty of destroying any man, let the earth disclose it; let it be brought to light. Cry - Let the cry of my complaints to men, or prayers to God, find no place in the ears or hearts of God or men, if this be true.
