Job 19:23-29
23“Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were 1inscribed in a book!24That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever!25As for me, I know that 2my 3Redeemer lives, And 4at the last He will take His stand on the 5earth.26Even after my skin 6is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall 7see God;27Whom I 8myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My 9heart 10faints 11within me!28If you say, ‘How shall we 12persecute him?’ And ‘13What pretext for a case against him can we find?’29Then be afraid of 14the sword for yourselves, For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, So that you may know 15there is judgment.”
