Job 19:23-29

English Standard Version

²³ “Oh that my words were written!
    Oh that they were ^(A)inscribed in a book!
²⁴ Oh that with an iron ^(B)pen and lead
    they were engraved in the rock forever!
²⁵ For I ^(C)know that my ^(D)Redeemer lives,
    and at the last he will stand upon the ^(E)earth.^[a]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
    yet in^[b] my flesh I shall ^(F)see God,
²⁷ whom I shall see for myself,
    and my eyes shall behold, and not ^(G)another.
    My heart ^(H)faints within me!
²⁸ If you say, ‘How we will ^(I)pursue him!’
    and, ‘The root of the matter is found in him,’^[c]
29 be afraid of the sword,
    for wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
    that you may know there is ^(J)a judgment.”
