OET interlinear JOB 16:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם עֵדִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠שָׂהֲדִ֗⁠י בַּ⁠מְּרוֹמִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet now see/lo/see! in=the_heavens witness_of,my and,witness_of,my [is]_in_(the),places )

See the discussion in the introduction 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

(Some words not found in UHB: also/yet now see/lo/see! in=the_heavens witness_of,my and,witness_of,my [is]_in_(the),places )

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]
