Job 16:18-21
Lexham English Bible
18 “O earth, you should not cover my blood,
and let there be no place[a] for my cry for help.
19 So now look, my witness is in the heavens,
and he who vouches for me is in the heights.
20 My friends scorn me;
my eye pours out tears to God,
21 and it argues[b] for a mortal with God,
and as a human[c] for his friend.
Job 16:18-21

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)
