Verse 16 is found in chapter 16 of Job. Job dresses in mourning and states that his prayer is pure while his eyes continue to weep. He calls for a witness in heaven who can testify to his case. The image of the heavenly witness extends his desire for mediation and shows that, although he feels attacked, he still expects an authority capable of recognizing his innocence.
