Then Job answered and said, |
| 019:002 |
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? |
| 019:003 |
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make
yourselves strange to me. |
| 019:004 |
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. |
| 019:005 |
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against
me my reproach: |
| 019:006 |
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his
net. |
| 019:007 |
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there
is no judgment. |
| 019:008 |
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness
in my paths. |
| 019:009 |
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. |
| 019:010 |
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath
he removed like a tree. |
| 019:011 |
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto
him as one of his enemies. |
| 019:012 |
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp
round about my tabernacle. |
| 019:013 |
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily
estranged from me. |
| 019:014 |
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. |
| 019:015 |
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger:
I am an alien in their sight. |
| 019:016 |
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with
my mouth. |
| 019:017 |
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's
sake of mine own body. |
| 019:018 |
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. |
| 019:019 |
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned
against me. |
| 019:020 |
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with
the skin of my teeth. |
| 019:021 |
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand
of God hath touched me. |
| 019:022 |
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? |
| 019:023 |
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! |
| 019:024 |
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! |
| 019:025 |
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth: |
| 019:026 |
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall
I see God: |
| 019:027 |
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;
though my reins be consumed within me. |
| 019:028 |
But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter
is found in me? |
| 019:029 |
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the
sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. |
