< 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 will ye vex 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.
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed [that] ye make yourselves strange to me.
4 And even truly I have erred with me it lodges error my.
And be it indeed [that] I have erred, my error remaineth with myself.
5 If truly above me you will magnify yourselves and you may argue on me disgrace my.
If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6 Know then that God he has wronged me and net his over me he has closed.
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath encompassed me with his net.
7 There! I cry out violence and not I am answered I cry for help and there not [is] justice.
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment.
8 Way my he has walled up and not I will pass and on paths my darkness he puts.
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
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 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 gone: and my hope hath he removed like a tree.
11 And he has kindled towards me anger his and he has considered me himself like foes his.
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as [one of] 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 come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tabernacle.
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 are verily estranged from me.
14 They have ceased kindred my and acquaintances my they have forgotten me.
My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar 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.
They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
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 mouth.
17 Breath my it is loathsome to wife my and I am repulsive to [the] sons of womb my.
My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's [sake] of my own body.
18 Also young boys they reject me I arise and they spoke against me.
Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
19 They abhor me all [the] men of council my and whom I love they have turned against me.
All my intimate friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are 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 bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with 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 upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why? are you persecuting me like God and from flesh my not are you satisfied?
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied 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.
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 With a stylus of iron and lead for ever in the rock they will be engraved!
That they were graven with an iron pen in lead, in the rock for ever!
25 And I I know vindicator my he lives and last on dust he will stand.
For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he will stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
26 And after skin my people have struck off this and from flesh my I will see God.
And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I 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.
Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.
28 If you will say what? will we persecute him and [the] root of [the] matter it has been found in me.
But ye would say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29 Be afraid yourselves - of [the] sword for rage [is] iniquities of [the] sword so that you may know! (that a judgment. *Q(k)*)
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there] is a judgment.
