Job 19
1 Then Job replied:
And he answered Job and he said.
2 “How long will you [three] torment me and crush my spirit by saying to me [that I am wicked]?
Until when? will you torment! self my and will you crush? me with words.
3 You have already insulted me many [HYP] times; (are you not ashamed for saying these things to me?/you should be ashamed for saying these things to me.) [RHQ]
This ten times you have insulted me not you have been ashamed you have ill-treated me.
4 Even if it were true that I have done things that are wrong, I have not injured you!
And even truly I have erred with me it lodges error my.
5 If you truly think that you are better than I am, and you think that my being miserable now proves that I (am guilty/have committed many sins),
If truly above me you will magnify yourselves and you may argue on me disgrace my.
6 you need to realize that it is God who has caused me to suffer. [It is as though] he has trapped me with his net.
Know then that God he has wronged me and net his over me he has closed.
7 “I cry out, ‘Help me!’, but no one answers me. I call out loudly, but there is no one, [not even God, ] who acts fairly toward me.
There! I cry out violence and not I am answered I cry for help and there not [is] justice.
8 [It is as though] [MET] God has blocked my way, with the result that I cannot go where I want to; [it is as though] he has forced me to try to find my way in the darkness.
Way my he has walled up and not I will pass and on paths my darkness he puts.
9 He has (taken away my good reputation/caused people not to honor me any more); [it is as though] he removed [MET] a crown from my head.
Honor my from on me he has stripped off and he has removed [the] crown of head my.
10 He batters me from every side, and I will soon die. He has caused me to no longer confidently expect [him to do good things for me].
He has torn down me all around and I have gone and he has uprooted like a tree hope my.
11 He attacks me because he is extremely angry with me [MET], and he considers that I am his enemy.
And he has kindled towards me anger his and he has considered me himself like foes his.
12 [It is as though] he sends his army to attack me; they surround my tent, preparing to attack me.
Together - they have come troops his and they have piled up on me way their and they have encamped all around tent my.
13 “God has caused my brothers to abandon me, and all those who know me act like strangers to me.
Brothers my from with me he has put far away and acquaintances my surely they have become estranged from me.
14 All my relatives and good friends have left me.
They have ceased kindred my and acquaintances my they have forgotten me.
15 The people who were guests in my house have forgotten me, and my female servants consider that I am a stranger or that I am a foreigner.
[the] sojourners of House my and female servants my to a stranger they consider me a foreigner I have become in view their.
16 When I summon my servants, they do not answer; I plead with them to come [to help me, but they do not come].
To servant my I call and not he answers with mouth my I seek favor to him.
17 My wife does not want to come close to me because my breath [smells very bad], and even my brothers detest me.
Breath my it is loathsome to wife my and I am repulsive to [the] sons of womb my.
18 Even young children despise me; when I stand up [to talk to them], they laugh at me.
Also young boys they reject me I arise and they spoke against me.
19 My dearest friends detest me, and those whom I love [very much] have turned against me.
They abhor me all [the] men of council my and whom I love they have turned against me.
20 My body is [only] skin and bones; I am barely alive [IDM].
On skin my and on flesh my it clings bone my and I have escaped! with [the] skin of teeth my.
21 [“I plead with] you, my [three] friends, pity me, because God has (struck [EUP] me with his hand/caused me to suffer greatly).
Show favor to me show favor to me O you friends my for [the] hand of God it has touched me.
22 Why do you cause me to suffer like God does? Why do you continue to slander [MET] me?
Why? are you persecuting me like God and from flesh my not are you satisfied?
23 “I wish/desire that someone would take these words of mine and write them permanently in a book [in order that people can read them].
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.
24 Or else, I wish that he would carve them on a rock with (a chisel/an iron tool) in order that they would last forever.
With a stylus of iron and lead for ever in the rock they will be engraved!
25 But I know that the one who vindicates/defends me in court is alive, and that some day he will stand [here] on the earth [and make the final decision about whether I deserve to be punished].
And I I know vindicator my he lives and last on dust he will stand.
26 And even after diseases have eaten away my skin, while I still have my body, I will see God.
And after skin my people have struck off this and from flesh my I will see God.
27 I will see him myself; I will see him with my own eyes! I am overwhelmed [as I think about that]!
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.
28 “If you three men say, ‘What more can we do to cause Job to suffer?’ and if you say, ‘He has caused his own [troubles],’
If you will say what? will we persecute him and [the] root of [the] matter it has been found in me.
29 you should be afraid that God will punish [MTY] you; he punishes those [like you] with whom he is angry; and when that happens, you will know that there is [someone who] judges [people].”
Be afraid yourselves - of [the] sword for rage [is] iniquities of [the] sword so that you may know! (that a judgment. *Q(k)*)
