CLV Terra, ne operias sanguinem meum, neque inveniat in te locum latendi clamor meus:[fn]
(Terra, ne operias sanguinem mine, neque inveniat in you(sg) place latendi clamor meus:)
16.19 Terra ne operias sanguinem meum. Peccanti homini dictum est: Terra es et in terram ibis; quæ se terra Redemptoris nostri sanguinem non abscondit quia unusquisque peccator redemptionis suæ pretium sumens, confitetur ac laudat, et quibus valet proximis innotescit. Terra etiam sanguinem ejus non operuit: quia sancta Ecclesia redemptionis suæ mysterium in cunctis jam mundi partibus prædicavit. Neque inveniat in te locum latendi clamor meus. Ibid. Clamor Redemptoris nostri est sanguis redemptionis, qui a fidelibus sumitur, qui, ut ait Apostolus, melius loquitur quam sanguis Abel: quia sanguis Abel mortem fratricidæ petiit, sanguis Domini vitam persecutoribus impetravit. Qui clamor locum latendi invenit in nobis, si quod mens credidit, lingua tacet.

BRN And now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
BrLXX Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐν οὐρανοῖς ὁ μάρτυς μου, ὁ δὲ συνίστωρ μου ἐν ὑψίστοις.
(Kai nun idou en ouranois ho martus mou, ho de sunistōr mou en hupsistois. )
16:18-22 Job expected his suffering to prove fatal (7:7, 21; 10:20-22); he pleaded with God to reveal his innocence even if he died first.

בַשָּׁמַ֣יִם עֵדִ֑י וְ֝שָׂהֲדִ֗י בַּמְּרוֹמִֽים
in=the_heavens witness,my and,advocate,my in/on/at/with,high
See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter to decide how to translate the terms witness and advocate, which both describe the same person, someone whom Job expects will intercede for him in heaven. Alternate translation: “the person who has taken my side is pleading my case to God in heaven”
Note 2 topic: translate-plural
בַּמְּרוֹמִֽים
in/on/at/with,high
Job is using the term heights to mean heaven, which is high above the earth. The plural form probably identifies these heights as the supreme example of their class. That is, while being on top of a mountain gives someone a commanding position, ruling from heaven gives God the supremely commanding position. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is in highest heaven” or “is in heaven, where he rules supremely”
