Job 19
19:1

Then Job347 answered6030 and said,559

19:2

How long will ye vex3013 my soul,5315 and break1792 me in pieces with words?4405

19:3

These ten6235 times6471 have ye reproached3637 me: ye are not ashamed954 that ye make yourselves strange1970 to me.

19:4

And be it indeed551 that I have erred,7686 mine error4879 remaineth3885 with myself.

19:5

If indeed551 ye will magnify1431 yourselves against me, and plead3198 against me my reproach:2781

19:6

Know3045 now645 that Eloah433 hath overthrown5791 me, and hath compassed5362 me with his net.4686

19:7

Behold, I cry out6817 of wrong,2555 but I am not heard:6030 I cry aloud,7768 but there is no judgment.4941

19:8

He hath fenced up1443 my way734 that I cannot pass,5674 and he hath set7760 darkness2822 in my paths.5410

19:9

He hath stripped6584 me of my glory,3519 and taken5493 the crown5850 from my head.7218

19:10

He hath destroyed5422 me on every side,5439 and I am gone:3212 and mine hope8615 hath he removed5265 like a tree.6086

19:11

He hath also kindled2734 his wrath639 against me, and he counteth2803 me unto him as one of his enemies.6862

19:12

His troops1416 come935 together,3162 and raise up5549 their way1870 against me, and encamp2583 round about5439 my tabernacle.168

19:13

He hath put my brethren251 far7368 from me, and mine acquaintance3045 are verily estranged2114 from me.

19:14

My kinsfolk7138 have failed,2308 and my familiar friends3045 have forgotten7911 me.

19:15

They that dwell1481 in mine house,1004 and my maids,519 count2803 me for a stranger:2114 I am an alien5237 in their sight.5869

19:16

I called7121 my servant,5650 and he gave me no answer;6030 I intreated2603 him with1119 my mouth.6310

19:17

My breath7307 is strange2114 to my wife,802 though I intreated2589 for the children's1121 sake of mine own body.990

19:18

Yea, young children5759 despised3988 me; I arose,6965 and they spake1696 against me.

19:19

All my inward5475 friends4962 abhorred8581 me: and they whom I loved157 are turned2015 against me.

19:20

My bone6106 cleaveth1692 to my skin5785 and to my flesh,1320 and I am escaped4422 with the skin5785 of my teeth.8127

19:21

Have pity2603 upon me, have pity2603 upon me, O ye my friends;7453 for the hand3027 of Eloah433 hath touched5060 me.

19:22

Why do ye persecute7291 me as El,410 and are not satisfied7646 with my flesh?1320

19:23

Oh that5414 my words4405 were now645 written!3789 oh that5414 they were printed2710 in a book!5612

19:24

That they were graven2672 with an iron1270 pen5842 and lead5777 in the rock6697 for ever!5703

19:25

For I know3045 that my redeemer1350 liveth,2416 and that he shall stand6965 at the latter314 day upon the earth:6083

19:26

And though after310 my skin5785 worms destroy5362 this body, yet in my flesh1320 shall I see2372 Eloah:433

19:27

Whom I shall see2372 for myself, and mine eyes5869 shall behold,7200 and not another;2114 though my reins3629 be consumed3615 within2436 me.

19:28

But ye should say,559 Why persecute7291 we him, seeing the root8328 of the matter1697 is found4672 in me?

19:29

Be ye afraid1481 of6440 the sword:2719 for wrath2534 bringeth the punishments5771 of the sword,2719 that ye may know3045 there is a judgment.1779
