Job 19Job Replies: I Know That My Vindicator Lives

1Then Job answered:

2“How long will you torment me

and break me in pieces with words?

3These ten times you have cast reproach upon me;

are you not ashamed to wrong me?

4 against me

and encamp around my tent.

13“He has put my family far from me,

and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

14My relatives and my close friends have failed me;

15 lives

and that in the end he will stand upon the earth;

26 Mt 5.8; 1 Cor 13.12; 1 Jn 3.2 and after my skin has been destroyed,

then in my flesh I shall see God,

27 Ps 73.26 whom I shall see on my side,

and my eyes shall behold, and not another.

My heart faints within me!

28 Ps 69.26 If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’

and, ‘The root of the matter is found in him,’

29 Job 22.4 be afraid of the sword,

for wrath brings the punishment of the sword,

so that you may know there is a judgment.”
