Job 19:21-27
21Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, For the 1hand of God has struck me.22Why do you 2persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?
23“Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were 3inscribed in a book!24That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever!25As for me, I know that 4my 5Redeemer lives, And 6at the last He will take His stand on the 7earth.26Even after my skin 8is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall 9see God;27Whom I 10myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My 11heart 12faints 13within me!
