Chapter 19

1


 

  And Job answered and said,  

 

 

-

2


 

  How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?  

 

 

-

3


 

  These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.  

 

 

-

4


 

  And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.  

 

 

-

5


 

  If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,  

 

 

-

6


 

  Know now that +God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.  

 

 

-

8


 

  He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.  

 

 

-

9


 

  He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.  

 

 

-

10


 

  He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree.  

 

 

-

11


 

  And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies.  

 

 

-

12


 

  His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent.  

 

 

-

13


 

  He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.  

 

 

-

14


 

  My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.  

 

 

-

15


 

  The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.  

 

 

-

16


 

  I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.  

 

 

-

17


 

  My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother's] womb.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me.  

 

 

-

19


 

  All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.  

 

 

-

20


 

  My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of +God hath touched me.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Why do ye persecute me as łGod, and are not satisfied with my flesh?  

 

 

-

23


 

  Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!  

 

 

-

24


 

  That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!  

 

 

-

25


 

  And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth;  

 

 

-

26


 

  And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see +God;  

 

 

-

27


 

  Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: -- my reins are consumed within me.  

 

 

-

28


 

  If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me,  

 

 

-

29


 

  Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.
