Job 19:23
Compare all
21 “Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends,
For the hand of God has struck me!
22 Why do you apersecute me as God does,
And are not satisfied with my flesh? 
23 “Oh, that my words were written!
Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!
24 That they were engraved on a rock
With an iron pen and lead, forever!
25 For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth;
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.”
