Job 19

Revised Version 1895

1Then JobH347 answeredH559 and saidH559, 2HowH575 longH5704 will ye vex my soulH5315 and break meH5315 in pieces with wordsH4405? 3TheseH2088 tenH6235 timesH6471 have ye reproached meH3808: ye are notH3808 ashamedH954 that ye deal hardly with meH3808. 4And be it indeedH637 that I have erredH7686, mine errorH7686 remaineth with myself. 5IfH518 indeedH518 ye will magnifyH1431 yourselves againstH5921 meH5921, and pleadH3198 againstH5921 meH5921 my reproachH2781: 6KnowH3045 nowH3588 that GodH433 hath subverted meH5921 in my cause, and hath compassed meH5921 with his netH4686. 7BeholdH2005, I cryH6817 outH7768 of wrongH2555, but I am notH3808 heard: I cryH6817 for helpH7768, but there is noH3808 judgmentH4941. 8He hath fenced upH5921 my wayH734 that I cannotH3808 passH5674, and hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH734. 9He hath strippedH6584 meH5921 of my gloryH3519, and takenH5493 the crownH5850 from my headH7218. 10He hath brokenH5422 meH5422 downH5422 on everyH5439 sideH5439, and I am gone: and mine hopeH8615 hath he pluckedH5265 up like a treeH6086. 11He hath also kindledH2734 his wrathH639 againstH5921 meH5921, and he counteth meH5921 unto him as one of his adversaries. 12His troopsH1416 comeH935 on togetherH3162, and cast upH5921 their wayH1870 againstH5921 meH5921, and encampH2583 roundH5439 aboutH5439 my tentH168. 13He hath putH7368 my brethrenH251 farH7368 from meH5921, and mineH4480 acquaintance are wholly estranged from meH5921. 14My kinsfolk have failedH2308, and my familiarH3045 friendsH3045 have forgottenH7911 meH7911. 15They that dwellH1481 in mine houseH1004, and my maidsH519, count meH2803 for a strangerH5237: I am an alienH5237 in their sightH5869. 16I callH7121 unto my servantH5650, and he giveth meH7121 noH3808 answerH6030, though I entreat him with my mouthH6310. 17My breathH7307 is strangeH2114 to my wifeH802, and my supplication to the childrenH1121 of my mother’s wombH990. 18EvenH1571 youngH5759 childrenH5759 despiseH3988 meH1696; if I ariseH6965, they speakH1696 againstH1696 meH1696. 19AllH3605 my inward friendsH157 abhorH8581 meH8581: and they whom I lovedH157 are turnedH2015 againstH3605 meH8581. 20My boneH6106 cleaveth to my skinH5785 and to my fleshH1320, and I am escapedH4422 with the skinH5785 of my teethH8127. 21Have pityH2603 uponH3027 meH5060, have pityH2603 uponH3027 meH5060, O ye my friendsH7453; for the handH3027 of GodH433 hath touchedH5060 meH5060. 22WhyH4100 doH4100 ye persecuteH7291 meH7291 as GodH410, and are notH3808 satisfiedH7646 with my fleshH1320? 23OhH4310 that my wordsH4405 were nowH645 writtenH3789! ohH4310 that they were inscribedH2710 in a bookH5612! 24That with an ironH1270 penH5842 and leadH5777 they were graven in the rockH6697 for everH5703! 25But I knowH3045 that my redeemerH1350 liveth, and that he shall standH6965 upH6965 at the lastH314 uponH5921 the earthH6083: 26And afterH310 my skinH5785 hath been thus destroyed, yet from my fleshH1320 shall I seeH2372 GodH433: 27WhomH834 I shall seeH7200 for myselfH589, and mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200, and notH3808 anotherH2114. My reins are consumedH3615 withinH3629 meH7200. 28IfH3588 ye sayH559, HowH4100 weH3588 will persecuteH7291 him! seeingH3588 that the rootH8328 of the matterH1697 is foundH4672 in meH7291; 29Be ye afraidH1481 of the swordH2719: for wrathH2534 bringeth the punishments of the swordH2719, that ye may knowH3045 there is a judgmentH1779.
