job 19

1 - Then Job answered,
2 - "How long will you torment me,and crush me with words?
3 - You have reproached me ten times.You aren't ashamed that you attack me.
4 - If it is true that I have erred,my error remains with myself.
5 - If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me,and plead against me my reproach;
6 - know now that God has subverted me,and has surrounded me with his net.
7 - "Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard.I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8 - He has walled up my way so that I can't pass,and has set darkness in my paths.
9 - He has stripped me of my glory,and taken the crown from my head.
10 - He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone.My hope he has plucked up like a tree.
11 - He has also kindled his wrath against me.He counts me among his adversaries.
12 - His troops come on together,build a siege ramp against me,and encamp around my tent.
13 - "He has put my brothers far from me.My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14 - My relatives have gone away.My familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 - Those who dwell in my house and my maids consider me a stranger.I am an alien in their sight.
16 - I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer.I beg him with my mouth.
17 - My breath is offensive to my wife.I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
18 - Even young children despise me.If I arise, they speak against me.
19 - All my familiar friends abhor me.They whom I loved have turned against me.
20 - My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh.I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21 - "Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends;for the hand of God has touched me.
22 - Why do you persecute me as God,and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 - "Oh that my words were now written!Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 - That with an iron pen and leadthey were engraved in the rock forever!
25 - But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives.In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26 - After my skin is destroyed,then in my flesh shall I see God,
27 - Whom I, even I, shall see on my side.My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger."My heart is consumed within me.
28 - If you say, 'How we will persecute him!'because the root of the matter is found in me,
29 - be afraid of the sword,for wrath brings the punishments of the sword,that you may know there is a judgment."
