count me for a stranger;
I am a foreigner in their sight.
16I called my servant, but he gave me no answer;
I begged him with my mouth.

and He will stand at last on the earth;
26#Ps 17:15; 1Jn 3:2; 1Co 13:12 and after my skin is destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God,
27#Ps 73:26 whom I will see for myself,
and my eyes will behold, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me.
28#Job 19:22 “If you should say, ‘How shall we persecute him?’
since the root of the matter is found in me,
29be afraid of the sword for yourselves;
for wrath brings the punishments of the sword,
that you may know there is a judgment.”
