Job 16:17-19

Job 16:17-19 King James Version (KJV)

17 Not for any injustice in mine 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.



Job 16:17-19 Christian Standard Bible (CSB)



17 although my hands are free from violence

and my prayer is pure.

18 Earth, do not cover my blood;

may my cry for help find no resting place.

19 Even now my witness is in heaven,

and my advocate is in the heights!

These are my thoughts, please share yours.



17 We need to be sincere in our prayers to God and we don’t need others lie effect how we pray; we need to pray with it just being us and God. We shouldn’t engage in violence but as Christians show love.



18 Job knew that while he hadn’t had any hidden sin to punish from knew that these people were falsely accusing him and that the world was treating him wrong.



19 Jesus does this job for us as believers now but Job wasn’t aware that this would be done even though we do see a picture of this in the book of Job, Job wasn’t aware of what happened behind the scenes. We need to remember that those of us who are Christ’s have Him pleading our case and at our side and also helping us move forward.
