Job 19
American Standard Version
1Then JobH347 answered and saidH559,
2How long will ye vex my soulH5315,And break me in pieces with wordsH4405?3These tenH6235 timesH6471 have ye reproached me:Ye are not ashamedH954 that ye deal hardly with me.4And be it indeedH637 that I have erredH7686,Mine error remaineth with myself.5If indeed ye will magnifyH1431 yourselves against me,And plead against me my reproachH2781;6KnowH3045 now that GodH433 hath subverted me in my cause,And hath compassed me with his netH4686.7Behold, I cryH6817 out of wrong, but I am not heard:I cryH6817 for helpH7768, but there is no justiceH4941.8He hath walledH1443 up my wayH734 that I cannot passH5674,And hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH734.9He hath strippedH6584 me of my gloryH3519,And taken the crownH5850 from my headH7218.10He hath brokenH5422 me downH5422 on every side, and I am gone;And my hopeH8615 hath he plucked up like a treeH6086.11He hath also kindled his wrath against me,And he counteth me unto him as one of his adversaries.12His troopsH1416 comeH935 on togetherH3162,And cast up their wayH1870 against me,And encampH2583 roundH5439 about my tentH168.13He hath putH7368 my brethren farH7368 from me,And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.14My kinsfolk have failed,And my familiar friends have forgottenH7911 me.15They that dwell in my houseH1004, and my maids, count me for a stranger:I amH1961 an alienH5237 in their sight.16I callH7121 unto my servantH5650, and he giveth me no answerH6030,ThoughI entreat him with my mouthH6310.17My breathH7307 is strangeH2114 to my wifeH802,And my supplication to the children of mine own mother.18Even youngH5759 children despise me;If I ariseH6965, they speakH1696 against me.19All my familiar friendsH157 abhorH8581 me,And they whom I lovedH157 are turnedH2015 against me.20My boneH6106 cleaveth to my skinH5785 and to my fleshH1320,And I am escapedH4422 with the skinH5785 of my teethH8127.21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friendsH7453;For the handH3027 of GodH433 hath touchedH5060 me.22WhyH4100 do ye persecute me as GodH410,And are not satisfiedH7646 with my fleshH1320?23Oh that my wordsH4405 were now writtenH3789!Oh that they were inscribedH2710 in a bookH5612!24That with an ironH1270 pen and leadH5777They were graven in the rockH6697 for everH5703!25But as for me I knowH3045 that my RedeemerH1350 liveth,And at lastH314 he will standH6965 up upon the earthH6083:26And after my skinH5785, eventhisbodyH1320, is destroyed,Then without my fleshH1320 shall I seeH2372 GodH433;27Whom I, even I, shall seeH7200, on my side,And mine eyesH5869 shall behold, and not as a stranger.My heart is consumed within me.28If ye sayH559, HowH4100 we will persecute him!And that the rootH8328 of the matterH1697 is foundH4672 in me;29Be ye afraidH1481 of the swordH2719:For wrathH2534bringeththe punishments of the swordH2719,That ye may knowH3045 there is a judgmentH1779.
