Job 19:13-27
New American Standard Bible
Job 19:13-27
New American Standard Bible
13 “He has (A)removed my brothers far from me,
And my (B)acquaintances have completely turned away from me.
14 My relatives have failed,
And my (C)close friends have forgotten me.
15 Those who live in my house and my servant women consider me a stranger.
I am a foreigner in their sight.
16 I call to my servant, but he does not answer;
I have to implore his favor with my mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife,
And I am loathsome to my own brothers.
18 Even young children despise me;
I stand up and they speak against me.
19 All [a]my (D)associates loathe me,
And those I love have turned against me.
20 My (E)bone clings to my skin and my flesh,
And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.
21 Pity me, pity me, you friends of mine,
For the (F)hand of God has struck me.
22 Why do you (G)persecute me as God does,
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
Job Says My Redeemer Lives
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were (H)recorded in a book!
24 That with an iron stylus and lead
They were engraved in the rock forever!
25 Yet as for me, I know that (I)my Redeemer lives,
And at the last, He will take His stand on the [b]earth.
26 Even after my skin [c]is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I will (J)see God,
27 Whom I, on my part, shall behold for myself,
And whom my eyes will see, and not another.
My [d]heart (K)faints [e]within me!

Job 19:13-27
New International Version
13 “He has alienated my family(A) from me;
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.(B)
14 My relatives have gone away;
my closest friends(C) have forgotten me.
15 My guests(D) and my female servants(E) count me a foreigner;
they look on me as on a stranger.
16 I summon my servant, but he does not answer,
though I beg him with my own mouth.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife;
I am loathsome(F) to my own family.
18 Even the little boys(G) scorn me;
when I appear, they ridicule me.(H)
19 All my intimate friends(I) detest me;(J)
those I love have turned against me.(K)
20 I am nothing but skin and bones;(L)
I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.[a]
21 “Have pity on me, my friends,(M) have pity,
for the hand of God has struck(N) me.
22 Why do you pursue(O) me as God does?(P)
Will you never get enough of my flesh?(Q)
23 “Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,(R)
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool(S) on[b] lead,
or engraved in rock forever!(T)
25 I know that my redeemer[c](U) lives,(V)
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.[d]
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet[e] in[f] my flesh I will see God;(W)
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes(X)—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns(Y) within me!
