Verse 19 is found in chapter 16 of Job. Job dresses in mourning and states that his prayer is pure while his eyes continue to weep. He calls for a witness in heaven who can testify to his case. The image of the heavenly witness extends his desire for mediation and shows that, although he feels attacked, he still expects an authority capable of recognizing his innocence.

Auch siehe da, meine Zeuge ist mein Himmel; und der mich kennt, ist in der Höhe.
Mas he aquí que en los cielos está mi testigo, Y mi testimonio en las alturas.
Aun ahora, mi testigo está en los cielos; el que testifica por mí está en las alturas.
Déjà maintenant, mon témoin est dans le ciel, Mon témoin est dans les lieux élevés.
Eziandio ora, ecco, il mio testimonio è ne’ cieli; Il mio testimonio è ne’ luoghi sovrani.
Eis que também agora a minha testemunha está no céu, e nas alturas o meu testemunho está.
現今,看哪,在天有我的見證, 在上有我的保人。
