Job 16:20-22
EasyEnglish Bible

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.

22 I only have a few more years to live.
I will die and I will never again return to this earth.
