Job 19:28

Job 19:28

26 And after my skin is¹ destroyed, this I know,
That ^ain my flesh I shall see God,

27 Whom I shall see for myself,
And my eyes shall behold, and not another.
How my¹ heart yearns within me!

28 If you should say, ‘How shall we persecute him?’—
Since the root of the matter is found in me,

29 Be afraid of the sword for yourselves;
For wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
That you may know there is a judgment.”

<< Job 19:27

Job 19:29 >>

But ye should say - Or, Then ye shall say.

Why persecute we him - Or, as Mr. Good, How did we persecute him! Alas! we are now convinced that we did wrong.

Seeing the root of the matter - A pure practice, and a sound hope, resting on the solid ground of sound faith, received from God himself. Instead of bi , in Me, bo , in Him, is the reading of more than one hundred of Kennicott' s and De Rossi' s MSS., and in several of the versions. Seeing the root of the matter is found in Him.
