Job 19
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Then Job answered:
2 Until when? will you torment! self my and will you crush? me with words.
“How long will you torment me and crush me with your words?
3 This ten times you have insulted me not you have been ashamed you have ill-treated me.
Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me.
4 And even truly I have erred with me it lodges error my.
Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone.
5 If truly above me you will magnify yourselves and you may argue on me disgrace my.
If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me,
6 Know then that God he has wronged me and net his over me he has closed.
then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me.
7 There! I cry out violence and not I am answered I cry for help and there not [is] justice.
Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.
8 Way my he has walled up and not I will pass and on paths my darkness he puts.
He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness.
9 Honor my from on me he has stripped off and he has removed [the] crown of head my.
He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
10 He has torn down me all around and I have gone and he has uprooted like a tree hope my.
He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.
11 And he has kindled towards me anger his and he has considered me himself like foes his.
His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.
12 Together - they have come troops his and they have piled up on me way their and they have encamped all around tent my.
His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.
13 Brothers my from with me he has put far away and acquaintances my surely they have become estranged from me.
He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.
14 They have ceased kindred my and acquaintances my they have forgotten me.
My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me.
15 [the] sojourners of House my and female servants my to a stranger they consider me a foreigner I have become in view their.
My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 To servant my I call and not he answers with mouth my I seek favor to him.
I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth.
17 Breath my it is loathsome to wife my and I am repulsive to [the] sons of womb my.
My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family.
18 Also young boys they reject me I arise and they spoke against me.
Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me.
19 They abhor me all [the] men of council my and whom I love they have turned against me.
All my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me.
20 On skin my and on flesh my it clings bone my and I have escaped! with [the] skin of teeth my.
My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 Show favor to me show favor to me O you friends my for [the] hand of God it has touched me.
Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.
22 Why? are you persecuting me like God and from flesh my not are you satisfied?
Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
23 Who? will he give then and they will be written down! words my who? will he give on the scroll so they may be inscribed.
I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,
24 With a stylus of iron and lead for ever in the rock they will be engraved!
by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever.
25 And I I know vindicator my he lives and last on dust he will stand.
But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.
26 And after skin my people have struck off this and from flesh my I will see God.
Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.
27 Whom I - I will see for myself and own eyes my they will see and not a stranger they are faint kidneys my in bosom my.
I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger. How my heart yearns within me!
28 If you will say what? will we persecute him and [the] root of [the] matter it has been found in me.
If you say, ‘Let us persecute him, since the root of the matter lies with him,’
29 Be afraid yourselves - of [the] sword for rage [is] iniquities of [the] sword so that you may know! (that a judgment. *Q(k)*)
then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”
