Chapter 19

1


 

  Then Job answered and said,  

 

 

-

2


 

  How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?  

 

 

-

3


 

  These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.  

 

 

-

4


 

  And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remaineth with myself.  

 

 

-

5


 

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

 

 

-

6


 

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

 

 

-

7


 

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

 

 

-

8


 

  He hath fenced 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 hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope hath he removed like a tree.  

 

 

-

11


 

  He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as one of his enemies.  

 

 

-

12


 

  His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tabernacle.  

 

 

-

13


 

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

 

 

-

14


 

  My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.  

 

 

-

15


 

  They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.  

 

 

-

16


 

  I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.  

 

 

-

17


 

  My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's sake of my own body.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.  

 

 

-

19


 

  All my intimate friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.  

 

 

-

20


 

  My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.  

 

 

-

21


 

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

 

 

-

22


 

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

 

 

-

23


 

  Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!  

 

 

-

24


 

  That they were graven with an iron pen in lead, in the rock for ever!  

 

 

-

25


 

  For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he will stand at the latter day upon the earth:  

 

 

-

26


 

  And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:  

 

 

-

27


 

  Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.  

 

 

-

28


 

  But ye would say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?  

 

 

-

29


 

  Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
