Job19:1 Then Job answered:
Job19:2 "How long will you torment me, and break me in pieces with words?
Job19:3 These ten times you have cast reproach upon me; are you not ashamed to wrong me?
Job19:4 And even if it is true that I have erred, my error remains with me.
Job19:5 If indeed you magnify yourselves against me, and make my humiliation an argument against me,
Job19:6 know then that God has put me in the wrong, and closed his net around me.
Job19:7 Even when I cry out, 'Violence!' I am not answered; I call aloud, but there is no justice.
Job19:8 He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness upon my paths.
Job19:9 He has stripped my glory from me, and taken the crown from my head.
Job19:10 He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone, he has uprooted my hope like a tree.
Job19:11 He has kindled his wrath against me, and counts me as his adversary.
Job19:12 His troops come on together; they have thrown up siegeworks against me, and encamp around my tent.
Job19:13 "He has put my family far from me, and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
Job19:14 My relatives and my close friends have failed me;
Job19:15 the guests in my house have forgotten me; my serving girls count me as a stranger; I have become an alien in their eyes.
Job19:16 I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer; I must myself plead with him.
Job19:17 My breath is repulsive to my wife; I am loathsome to my own family.
Job19:18 Even young children despise me; when I rise, they talk against me.
Job19:19 All my intimate friends abhor me, and those whom I loved have turned against me.
Job19:20 My bones cling to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Job19:21 Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me!
Job19:22 Why do you, like God, pursue me, never satisfied with my flesh?
Job19:23 "O that my words were written down! O that they were inscribed in a book!
Job19:24 O that with an iron pen and with lead they were engraved on a rock forever!
Job19:25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth;
Job19:26 and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in my flesh I shall see God,
Job19:27 whom I shall see on my side, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!
Job19:28 If you say, 'How we will persecute him!' and, 'The root of the matter is found in him';
Job19:29 be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishment of the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment."
