chapter_Job_19
Job 19:1: And Job answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 19:2: Till when do ye afflict my soul, And bruise me with words? Job 19:3: These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make yourselves strange to me &#8212; Job 19:4: And also &#8212; truly, I have erred, With me doth my error remain. Job 19:5: If, truly, over me ye magnify yourselves, And decide against me my reproach; Job 19:6: Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round, Job 19:7: Lo, I cry out &#8212; violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment. Job 19:8: My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth. Job 19:9: Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth the crown from my head. Job 19:10: He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth like a tree my hope. Job 19:11: And He kindleth against me His anger, And reckoneth me to Him as His adversaries. Job 19:12: Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent. Job 19:13: My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me. Job 19:14: Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me, Job 19:15: Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes. Job 19:16: To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him. Job 19:17: My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my mother's womb. Job 19:18: Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me. Job 19:19: Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me. Job 19:20: To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth. Job 19:21: Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me. Job 19:22: Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied? Job 19:23: Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven? Job 19:24: With a pen of iron and lead &#8212; For ever in a rock they may be hewn. Job 19:25: That &#8212; I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise. Job 19:26: And after my skin hath compassed this body, Then from my flesh I see God: Job 19:27: Whom I &#8212; I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom. Job 19:28: But ye say, 'Why do we pursue after him?' And the root of the matter hath been found in me. Job 19:29: Be ye afraid because of the sword, For furious are the punishments of the sword, That ye may know that there is a judgment.
