vw@Job:19:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

vw@Job:19:2 @ How long will you torment my soul, and break me in pieces with words?

vw@Job:19:3 @ These ten times you have reproached me; you are not ashamed that you have wronged me.

vw@Job:19:4 @ And if indeed I have erred, my error remains with me.

vw@Job:19:5 @ If indeed you magnify yourselves against me, and adjudge my reproach against me,

vw@Job:19:6 @ know then that God has bowed me, and has surrounded me with His net.

vw@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I cry out concerning injustice, but I am not heard. I cry aloud, but there is no justice.

vw@Job:19:8 @ He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; and He has set darkness in my paths.

vw@Job:19:9 @ He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

vw@Job:19:10 @ He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; my hope He has uprooted like a tree.

vw@Job:19:11 @ He has also kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His enemies.

vw@Job:19:12 @ His troops come together and build up their road against me; they encamp all around my tent.

vw@Job:19:13 @ He has removed my brothers far from me, and my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

vw@Job:19:14 @ My relatives have left, and my close friends have forgotten me.

vw@Job:19:15 @ Those who dwell in my house, and my maidservants, count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their eyes.

vw@Job:19:16 @ I have called my servant, but he does not answer; I implored him with my mouth.

vw@Job:19:17 @ My breath is loathsome to my wife, and I must entreat the favor of children for the sake of my own body.

vw@Job:19:18 @ Even young children despise me; I arise, and they speak against me.

vw@Job:19:19 @ My circle of friends have abhorred me, and those whom I have loved have turned against me.

vw@Job:19:20 @ My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

vw@Job:19:21 @ Have pity on me! Have pity on me, O you my friends! For the hand of God has struck me!

vw@Job:19:22 @ Why do you persecute me as the Mighty God does, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

vw@Job:19:23 @ Oh, that my words were now written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!

vw@Job:19:24 @ That they were forever engraved on a rock with an iron pen and lead!

vw@Job:19:25 @ For I know that my Redeemer is alive, and He shall stand at the latter time upon the earth;

vw@Job:19:26 @ and after my skin has been struck off from my flesh, I shall see God:

vw@Job:19:27 @ Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not a stranger. O how my reins have been exhausted within me!

vw@Job:19:28 @ If you should say, How shall we persecute him? since the root of the matter has been found in me,

vw@Job:19:29 @ fear for yourselves because of the sword; for wrath brings the punishment of the sword; that you may know there is judgment.
