Job 19:23-29

23“Oh, that the words I now speak were written! Oh, that they were recorded in a scroll!

24That with an iron stylus and [molten] lead They were engraved in the rock forever!

25For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, And at the last He will take His stand upon the earth.

26Even after my [mortal] skin is destroyed [by death], Yet from my [immortal] flesh I will see God,

27Whom I, even I, will see for myself, And my eyes will see Him and not another! My heart faints within me.

28If you say, ‘How shall we [continue to] persecute him?’ And ‘What pretext for a case against him can we find [since we claim the root of these afflictions is found in him]?’

29Then beware and be afraid of the sword [of divine vengeance] for yourselves, For wrathful are the punishments of that sword, So that you may know there is judgment.”
