18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,
And (A)let my cry have no resting place!
19 Surely even now (B)my witness is in heaven,
And my evidence is on high.
20 My friends scorn me;
My eyes pour out tears to God.
21 (C)Oh, that one might plead for a man with God,
As a man pleads for his [a]neighbor!

  1. Job 16:21 friend

18 O earth, cover not thou my blood,
and let my cry have no place.
19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven,
and my record is on high.
20 My friends scorn me:
but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
21 O that one might plead for a man with God,
as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
