Job 19 — DBY
19Verse 1And Job answered and said,Verse 2How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?Verse 3These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.Verse 4And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.Verse 5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,Verse 6Know now that+God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.Verse 7Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.Verse 8He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.Verse 9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.Verse 10He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree.Verse 11And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies.Verse 12His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent.Verse 13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.Verse 14My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.Verse 15The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.Verse 16I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.Verse 17My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother's] womb.Verse 18Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me.Verse 19All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.Verse 20My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.Verse 21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of+God hath touched me.Verse 22Why do ye persecute me as*God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?Verse 23Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!Verse 24That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!Verse 25And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth;Verse 26And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see+God;Verse 27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: — my reins are consumed within me.Verse 28If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me,Verse 29Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.
