Job 19:13-27
New American Standard Bible
13 “He has (A)removed my brothers far from me,
And my (B)acquaintances have completely turned away from me.
14 My relatives have failed,
And my (C)close friends have forgotten me.
15 Those who live in my house and my servant women consider me a stranger.
I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 I call to my servant, but he does not answer;
I have to implore his favor with my mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife,
And I am loathsome to my own brothers.
18 Even young children despise me;
I stand up and they speak against me.
19 All [a]my (D)associates loathe me,
And those I love have turned against me.
20 My (E)bone clings to my skin and my flesh,
And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
21 Pity me, pity me, you friends of mine,
For the (F)hand of God has struck me.
22 Why do you (G)persecute me as God does,
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
Job Says My Redeemer Lives
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were (H)recorded in a book!
24 That with an iron stylus and lead
They were engraved in the rock forever!
25 Yet as for me, I know that (I)my Redeemer lives,
And at the last, He will take His stand on the [b]earth.
26 Even after my skin [c]is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I will (J)see God,
27 Whom I, on my part, shall behold for myself,
And whom my eyes will see, and not another.
My [d]heart (K)faints [e]within me!
