Job 16:18-21
Legacy Standard Bible

18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,
And let there be no resting place for my cry.
19 Even now, behold, (A)my witness is in heaven,
And my [a]advocate is (B)on high.
20 My friends are my scoffers;
(C)My eye [b]weeps to God.
21 O that a man might argue with God
As a man with his neighbor!

Job 16:18-21
Common English Bible

Lingering hope

18 Earth, don’t cover my blood;
    let my outcry never cease.
19 Surely now my witness stands in heaven;
    my advocate is on high;
20     my go-between, my friend.[a]
While my eyes drip tears to God,
21     let him plead with God for a human being,
    like a person pleads for a friend.
