noyes - Job:19

noyes@Job:19:1 @ But Job answered and said:

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

noyes@Job:19:3 @ These ten times have ye reviled me; Without shame do ye stun me!

noyes@Job:19:4 @ And be it, indeed, that I have erred, My error abideth with myself.

noyes@Job:19:5 @ Since, indeed, ye magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach,

noyes@Job:19:6 @ Know then that it is God who hath brought me low; He hath encompassed me with his net.

noyes@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I complain of wrong, but receive no answer; I cry aloud, but obtain no justice.

noyes@Job:19:8 @ He hath fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths.

noyes@Job:19:9 @ He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.

noyes@Job:19:10 @ He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone! He hath torn up my hope like a tree.

noyes@Job:19:11 @ He kindleth his anger against me, And counteth me as his enemy.

noyes@Job:19:12 @ His troops advance together against me; They throw up for themselves a way to me, And encamp around my dwelling.

noyes@Job:19:13 @ My brethren he hath put far from me, And my acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.

noyes@Job:19:14 @ My kinsfolk have forsaken me, And my bosom friends have forgotten me.

noyes@Job:19:15 @ The foreigners of my house, yea, my own maidservants, regard me as a stranger; I am an alien in their eyes.

noyes@Job:19:16 @ I call my servant, and he maketh no answer; With my own mouth do I entreat him.

noyes@Job:19:17 @ My breath is become strange to my wife, And my prayers also to my own mothers sons.

noyes@Job:19:18 @ Even young children despise me; When I rise up, they speak against me.

noyes@Job:19:19 @ All my bosom friends abhor me, And they whom I loved are turned against me.

noyes@Job:19:20 @ My bones cleave to my flesh and my skin, And I have scarcely escaped with the skin of my teeth.

noyes@Job:19:21 @ Have pity upon me, O ye my friends! have pity upon me; For the hand of God hath smitten me!

noyes@Job:19:22 @ Why do ye persecute me like God, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

noyes@Job:19:23 @ O that my words were now written! O that they were marked down in a scroll!

noyes@Job:19:24 @ That with an iron pen, and with lead, They were engraven upon the rock for ever!

noyes@Job:19:25 @ Yet I know that my Vindicator liveth, And will hereafter stand up on the earth;

noyes@Job:19:26 @ And though with my skin this body be wasted away, Yet without my flesh shall I see God.

noyes@Job:19:27 @ Yea, I shall see him my friend; My eyes shall behold him, and not another: For this, my soul panteth within me.

noyes@Job:19:28 @ Since ye say, "How may we persecute him, And find grounds of accusation against him?"

noyes@Job:19:29 @ Be ye afraid of the sword! For malice is a crime for the sword; That ye may know that judgment cometh.
