Job 16:21

21 that he would maintain the right of a mortal with God, as one does for a neighbor.

Job 16:21 In-Context

19 Even now, in fact, my witness is in heaven, and he that vouches for me is on high.
20 My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God,
21 that he would maintain the right of a mortal with God, as one does for a neighbor.
22 For when a few years have come, I shall go the way from which I shall not return.
