Job 16:20 in context

The verses around it, from Job 16.

16 My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;

17 yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.

18 O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.

19 Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.

20 My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.

21 Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!

22 For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
