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)

Evangelical Heritage Version
18 O earth, do not cover my blood.
Let my cry never find a place to rest.
19 Even now, my witness is in heaven.
My advocate is on high.
20 My intercessor is my friend.
My eyes never stop weeping to God.
21 My intercessor pleads with God for a man,
as another human pleads for his friend.
