rwbs@Job:19:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

rwbs@Job:19:2 @ How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?

rwbs@Job:19:3 @ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed ye make yourselves strange to me. (note:)make…: or, harden yourselves against me(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:4 @ And be it indeed I have erred, my error remaineth with myself.

rwbs@Job:19:5 @ If indeed ye will magnify against me, and plead against me my reproach:

rwbs@Job:19:6 @ Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.

rwbs@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but no judgment. (note:)wrong: or, violence(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:8 @ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

rwbs@Job:19:9 @ He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown my head.

rwbs@Job:19:10 @ He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope hath he removed like a tree.

rwbs@Job:19:11 @ He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as his enemies.

rwbs@Job:19:12 @ His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tent.

rwbs@Job:19:13 @ He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

rwbs@Job:19:14 @ My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.

rwbs@Job:19:15 @ They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

rwbs@Job:19:16 @ I called my servant, and he gave no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.

rwbs@Job:19:17 @ My breath is strange to my wife, though I make supplication to the children of my own body. (note:)mine…: Hebrews. my belly(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:18 @ Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me. (note:)young…: or, the wicked(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:19 @ All my close friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. (note:)my…: Hebrews. the men of my secret(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:20 @ My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth. (note:)and to: or, as to(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:21 @ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

rwbs@Job:19:22 @ Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

rwbs@Job:19:23 @ O that my words were now written! O that they were printed in a book! (note:)Oh…: Hebrews. Who will give, etc(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:24 @ That they were engraved with an iron pen in lead in the rock for ever!

rwbs@Job:19:25 @ For I know my redeemer liveth, and he shall stand at the latter upon the earth:

rwbs@Job:19:26 @ And after my skin destroy this, yet in my flesh shall I see God: (note:)And…: or, After I shall awake, though this body be destroyed, yet out of my flesh(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:27 @ Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; my reins be consumed within me. (note:)another: Hebrews. a stranger(:note)though…: or, my reins within me are consumed with earnest desire (for that day)within…: Heb. in my bosom

rwbs@Job:19:28 @ But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? (note:)seeing…: or, and what root of matter is found in me?(:note)

rwbs@Job:19:29 @ Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath the punishments of the sword, that ye may know a judgment.
