Job 16:18
Douay-Rheims
O earth, cover not thou my blood, neither let my cry find a hiding place in thee.
George Leo Haydock
In thee. Let the cry of my blood, which issues from my wounds, and the injury which my reputation has suffered, come before the throne of God. Calumny is a species of murder. See Genesis iv. 10. (Calmet) — If I be really guilty, I am willing to remain unburied. Let the dogs lick up my blood. (Cajetan) — Cry. Let the hills re-echo my sufferings. (Pineda) Et quodcumque meæ possunt narrare querelæ, Cogar ad argutas dicere solus aves. (Propertius)
