Job 19:18-29
-
18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
-
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
-
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
-
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
-
22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
-
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
-
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
-
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
-
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
-
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
-
28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
-
29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
