Job 19:20-29
Christian Standard Bible
20 My skin and my flesh cling to my bones;
I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.
21 Have mercy on me, my friends,(A) have mercy,
for God’s hand(B) has struck me.(C)
22 Why do you persecute me as God does?
Will you never get enough of my flesh?
23 I wish that my words were written down,
that they were recorded on a scroll
24 or were inscribed in stone forever
by an iron stylus and lead!
25 But I know that my Redeemer lives,[a](D)
and at the end he will stand on the dust.(E)
26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,[b]
yet I will see God in[c] my flesh.(F)
27 I will see him myself;
my eyes will look at him, and not as a stranger.[d]
My heart longs[e] within me.(G)
28 If you say, “How will we pursue him,
since the root of the problem lies with him?” [f]
29 then be afraid of the sword,
because wrath brings punishment by the sword,(H)
so that you may know there is a judgment.
