< Job 19 >

1 And he answered Job and he said.
Then Job answered, and said:
2 Until when? will you torment! self my and will you crush? me with words.
How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 This ten times you have insulted me not you have been ashamed you have ill-treated me.
Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
4 And even truly I have erred with me it lodges error my.
For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
5 If truly above me you will magnify yourselves and you may argue on me disgrace my.
But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
6 Know then that God he has wronged me and net his over me he has closed.
At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
7 There! I cry out violence and not I am answered I cry for help and there not [is] justice.
Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
8 Way my he has walled up and not I will pass and on paths my darkness he puts.
He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
9 Honor my from on me he has stripped off and he has removed [the] crown of head my.
He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken 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 hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
11 And he has kindled towards me anger his and he has considered me himself like foes his.
His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
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 have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
13 Brothers my from with me he has put far away and acquaintances my surely they have become estranged from me.
He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
14 They have ceased kindred my and acquaintances my they have forgotten me.
My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, 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.
They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
16 To servant my I call and not he answers with mouth my I seek favor to him.
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated 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 wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
18 Also young boys they reject me I arise and they spoke against me.
Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
19 They abhor me all [the] men of council my and whom I love they have turned against me.
They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is 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.
The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about 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, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
22 Why? are you persecuting me like God and from flesh my not are you satisfied?
Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with 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.
Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
24 With a stylus of iron and lead for ever in the rock they will be engraved!
With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
25 And I I know vindicator my he lives and last on dust he will stand.
For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
26 And after skin my people have struck off this and from flesh my I will see God.
And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my 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.
Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
28 If you will say what? will we persecute him and [the] root of [the] matter it has been found in me.
Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against 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)*)
Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment.
