The Pulpit Commentary on Job 16:19

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Also now, behold, my Witness is in heaven; rather, even now (see the Revised Version). Job claims God for his Witness, looks to him for an ultimate vindication of his character, is sure that in one way or another he will make his righteousness clear as the noonday in the sight of men and angels (see Job 19:25-27, of which this is in some sort an anticipation).

My record?봮r, he that vouches for me (Revised Version)?봧s on high?봮ne of the so frequent pleonastic repetitions of one and the same idea.
