Job 16:18-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 Earth, do not cover my blood;
may my cry for help find no resting place.(A)
19 Even now my witness is in heaven,
and my advocate is in the heights!(B)
20 My friends scoff at me
as I weep before God.
21 I wish that someone might arbitrate
between a man and God(C)
just as a man pleads for his friend.
Job 16:18-21
New Living Translation
18 “O earth, do not conceal my blood.
Let it cry out on my behalf.
19 Even now my witness is in heaven.
My advocate is there on high.
20 My friends scorn me,
but I pour out my tears to God.
21 I need someone to mediate between God and me,
as a person mediates between friends.
