| Job 19:1 | Then Job answered and said:
|
| Job 19:2 | How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
|
| Job 19:3 | These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me.
|
| Job 19:4 | And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
|
| Job 19:5 | If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
|
| Job 19:6 | Know now that God hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net.
|
| Job 19:7 | Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
|
| Job 19:8 | He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.
|
| Job 19:9 | He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
|
| Job 19:10 | He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree.
|
| Job 19:11 | He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries.
|
| Job 19:12 | His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.
|
| Job 19:13 | He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
|
| Job 19:14 | My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
|
| Job 19:15 | They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight.
|
| Job 19:16 | I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth.
|
| Job 19:17 | My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.
|
| Job 19:18 | Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me.
|
| Job 19:19 | All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me.
|
| Job 19:20 | My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
|
| Job 19:21 | Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
|
| Job 19:22 | Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
|
| Job 19:23 | Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
|
| Job 19:24 | That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
|
| Job 19:25 | But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust;
|
| Job 19:26 | And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God;
|
| Job 19:27 | Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within me.
|
| Job 19:28 | If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
|
| Job 19:29 | Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
