Job 19:21-27

“Have pity on me! Have pity on me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has touched me. “Why do you persecute me as God does? Why are you not satisfied with my flesh (anguish)? ¶“Oh, that the words I now speak were written! Oh, that they were recorded in a scroll! “That with an iron stylus and [molten] lead They were engraved in the rock forever! “For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, And at the last He will take His stand upon the earth. [Is 44:6; 48:12] “Even after my [mortal] skin is destroyed [by death], Yet from my [immortal] flesh I will see God, Whom I, even I, will see for myself, And my eyes will see Him and not another! My heart faints within me.
