Job 16:18-21
English Standard Version
18 “O earth, (A)cover not my blood,
and let my (B)cry find no resting place.
19 Even now, behold, my (C)witness is in heaven,
and he who testifies for me is (D)on high.
20 My friends (E)scorn me;
my eye pours out tears to God,
21 that he would (F)argue the case of a man with God,
as[a] a son of man does 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.
Notas al pie
- Job 16:20 Go-between and friend are plural in Heb.
