Job 19 📜 📕 ↷
Job: My Redeemer Lives
1 BUT Job answering, said:📜💬📚
2 How long do you afflict my soul, and wear me with words?📜💬📚
3 Behold, ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed oppressing me.📜💬📚
4 For although I have been ignorant, mine ignorance shall be with me.📜💬📚
5 But you are set up against me, & reprove me with reproaches.📜💬📚
6 At the least now understand ye, that God hath afflicted me not with equal judgment, and hath compassed me with his scourges.📜💬📚
7 Behold I shall cry suffering violence, and no man will hear: I shall cry out, and there is none to judge.📜💬📚
8 He hath hedged my path round about and I can not pass, and in my way hath put darkness.📜💬📚
9 He hath spoiled me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.📜💬📚
10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I perish, and as it were from a tree plucked hath he taken away my hope.📜💬📚
11 His fury is wrath against me, and he hath so accounted me as his enemy.📜💬📚
12 His servants have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.📜💬📚
13 He hath made my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance as strangers have departed from me.📜💬📚
14 My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me have forgotten me.📜💬📚
15 The guests of my house, and my maidservants have counted me an alien, and I have been as it were a stranger in their eyes.📜💬📚
16 I called my servant, and he did not answer me, with mine own mouth I besought him.📜💬📚
17 My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I prayed the children of my womb.📜💬📚
18 Fools also despised me, and when I was departed from them, they backbited me.📜💬📚
19 My counsellers sometime have abhorred me: & he whom I loved most hath turned against me.📜💬📚
20 The flesh being consumed, my bone hath cleaved to my skin, and there are left only lips about my teeth.📜💬📚
21 Have mercy upon me, have mercy upon me, at the least you my friends, because the hand of our Lord hath touched me.📜💬📚
22 Why do you as God persecute me, and are filled with my flesh?📜💬📚
23 Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will give me that they may be drawn in a Book,📜💬📚
24 with iron pen, & in plate of lead, or else with stile might be graven in flint-stone?📜💬📚
25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, & in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.📜💬📚
26 And I shall be compassed again with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see God.📜💬📚
27 Whom I my self shall see, & mine eyes shall behold, & none other: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.📜💬📚
28 Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, & let us find root of word against him?📜💬📚
29 Fly therefore from the face of the sword, because the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment.📜💬📚
