King James Version
O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
— Job 16:21-1953, King James Version
“That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor! For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return. ”
“that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor! For when a few years are come, I shall go the way of no return.”
“and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend. For the years that lie ahead are few, and then I will go on the way of no return.”
“My friends are full of words: my eye poureth out tears to God. And O that a man might so be judged with God, as the son of man is judged with his companion! For behold short years pass away, and I am walking in a path by which I shall not return. ”
“So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour. For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.”
“O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return. ”
O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
