Job 16:18
_ _ my blood — that is, my undeserved suffering. He compares himself to one murdered, whose blood the earth refuses to drink up until he is avenged (Genesis 4:10, Genesis 4:11; Ezekiel 24:1, Ezekiel 24:8; Isaiah 26:21). The Arabs say that the dew of heaven will not descend on a spot watered with innocent blood (compare 2 Samuel 1:21).
_ _ no place — no resting-place. “May my cry never stop!” May it go abroad! “Earth” in this verse in antithesis to “heaven” (Job 16:19). May my innocence be as well-known to man as it is even now to God! |

James 4:3-4 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. ... Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
