17. Not for any injustice in my hands: also my prayer is pure.
18. O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
19. Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
20. My friends scorn me: but my eye poureth out tears to God.
21. O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor!
22. When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
