Verse 17 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.

wiewohl kein Frevel in meiner Hand ist und mein Gebet ist rein.
A pesar de no haber iniquidad en mis manos, Y de haber sido mi oración pura.
aunque no hay violencia en mis manos y mi oración es pura.
Je n'ai pourtant commis aucune violence, Et ma prière fut toujours pure.
Quantunque non vi sia violenza nelle mie mani, E la mia orazione sia pura.
Apesar de não haver violência nas minhas mãos, e de ser pura a minha oração.
我的手中卻沒有暴力, 我的祈禱也是純潔的。
