Job 16:18-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 “O earth, do not cover my blood;
let my outcry find no resting place.(A)
19 Even now my witness is in heaven,
and my advocate is on high.(B)
20 My friends scorn me;
my eye pours out tears to God,
21 that he would maintain the right of a mortal with God,
as[a] one does for a neighbor.(C)
