Verse | |
1. Then Job answered and said, | |
2. How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? | |
3. These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. | |
4. And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. | |
5. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: | |
6. Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. | |
7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. | |
8. He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. | |
9. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. | |
10. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. | |
11. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. | |
12. His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. | |
13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. | |
14. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. | |
15. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. | |
16. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. | |
17. My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. | |
18. Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. | |
19. All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. | |
20. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. | |
21. Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. | |
22. Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? | |
23. Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! | |
24. That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! | |
25. For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Images | |
26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: | |
27. Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. | |
28. But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? | |
29. Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. |
