16 My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark;
         
                                
                        17 Though my hands have done no violent acts, and my prayer is clean.
         
                                
                        18 O earth, let not my blood be covered, and let my cry have no resting-place!
         
                                
                        19 Even now my witness is in heaven, and the supporter of my cause is on high.
         
                                
                        20 My friends make sport of me; to God my eyes are weeping,
         
                                
                        21 So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour.
         
                                
                        22 For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.
