Job 19:23-29
King James Version
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:
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.

Job 19:23-29
New International Version
23 “Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,(A)
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool(B) on[a] lead,
or engraved in rock forever!(C)
25 I know that my redeemer[b](D) lives,(E)
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.[c]
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet[d] in[e] my flesh I will see God;(F)
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes(G)—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns(H) within me!
