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