Job 16:18-21
New American Standard Bible
18 “Earth, do not cover my blood,
And may 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 weeps to God,
21 That one might plead for a man with God
As a son of man with his neighbor!

Job 16:18-21
American Standard Version
18 O earth, cover not thou my blood,
And let my cry [a]have no resting-place.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,
And he that voucheth for me is on high.
20 My friends scoff at me:
But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,
21 [b]That he would maintain the right of a man with God,
And of a son of man with his neighbor!
