Job 16:18 (ESV)

18 “O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry find no resting place.

Still convinced of his innocence, Job yearns for justice. After his death, God must remember his innocent blood (see Genesis 4:10; Revelation 6:10). Also, Job’s cry for help and justice should never be forgotten.
