Job 16:19-21
EasyEnglish Bible

19 But even now, I know that I have a friend in heaven.
    He knows that I am not guilty.
    He speaks on my behalf.
20 My friends have turned against me.
    I cry with many tears as I pray to God.
21 I need someone to speak to God on my behalf.
He should ask God not to punish me,
    as someone might try to help his friends.
