25 I know that my redeemer[a] lives,
    and that in the end he will stand on the earth.[b]
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
    yet[c] in[d] my flesh I will see God;
27 I myself will see him
    with my own eyes – I, and not another.
    How my heart yearns within me!

28 ‘If you say, “How we will hound him,
    since the root of the trouble lies in him,[e]
29 you should fear the sword yourselves;
    for wrath will bring punishment by the sword,
    and then you will know that there is judgment.[f]
