Job 19:23-29
“Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,
that they were inscribed with an iron tool on19:24 Or and lead,
or engraved in rock forever!
I know that my redeemer19:25 Or vindicator lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.19:25 Or on my grave
And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet19:26 Or And after I awake, / though this body has been destroyed, / then in19:26 Or destroyed, / apart from my flesh I will see God;
I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!
“If you say, ‘How we will hound him,
since the root of the trouble lies in him,19:28 Many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint and Vulgate; most Hebrew manuscripts me’
you should fear the sword yourselves;
for wrath will bring punishment by the sword,
and then you will know that there is judgment.19:29 Or sword, / that you may come to know the Almighty”
