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