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!
