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 [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!
