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