Job|19:1|-|Then Job answered and said,
Job|19:2|-|How long will you grieve my soulAnd crush me with your words?
Job|19:3|-|These |a|ten times you have reproached me;You are not ashamed to deal wrongly with me.
Job|19:4|-|And be it that I have erred,My error remains with me.
Job|19:5|-|If you indeed magnify yourselves against meAnd use my reproach in argument against me,
Job|19:6|-|Know then that God has |1|subverted my causeAnd compassed me about with His net.
Job|19:7|-|Indeed, I cry out, Violence! and I am not answered;I call for help, and there is no justice.
Job|19:8|-|He has |a|walled up my way so that I cannot pass;And He has put darkness upon my paths.
Job|19:9|-|He has stripped my |1|glory from meAnd taken away the |1|crown on my head.
Job|19:10|-|He has broken me all around, and I am gone;And my |1|hope is plucked up like a tree.
Job|19:11|-|He has also kindled His |1|anger against me,And in Himself He considers me as His |1a|adversary.
Job|19:12|-|His troops come togetherAnd cast up their highway against me
And encamp all around my tent.
Job|19:13|-|He has removed my brothers far from me,And those who know me are wholly estranged from me.
Job|19:14|-|My relatives have failed me,And my acquaintances have forgotten me.
Job|19:15|-|Those who sojourn in my house and my maids consider me as a stranger;I am a foreigner in their eyes.
Job|19:16|-|To my servant I call out, but he does not answer;I entreat him with my mouth.
Job|19:17|-|My breath is strange to my wife;And |1|my supplications, to the children of my mother’s womb.
Job|19:18|-|Even little children despise me:I arise and they speak against me.
Job|19:19|-|All the men whom I take counsel with abhor me,And those whom I love have turned against me.
Job|19:20|-|My |a|bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh,And I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Job|19:21|-|Pity me, pity me, O my friends;For the |a|hand of God has touched me.
Job|19:22|-|Why do you persecute me as God doesAnd are not satisfied with eating my flesh?
Job|19:23|-|Oh, that my words were now written!Oh, that they were inscribed in a |a|book!
Job|19:24|-|That with an |a|iron pen and with leadThey were engraved in rock forever!
Job|19:25|-|But I know that my |1a|Redeemer lives,And at the last He will stand upon the earth;
Job|19:26|-|And after this body of mine is destroyed,Outside my flesh I will |a|look on God,
Job|19:27|-|Whom I, even I, will look on for myself,And my eyes will see; I, and no other.
My inward parts that long for God are consumed within me.
Job|19:28|-|If you say, How will we persecute him?For the root of the matter is found in him;
Job|19:29|-|Be fearful of the sword,For wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
That you may know that there is a judgment.
