Job 19:23-27
New Living Translation
23 “Oh, that my words could be recorded.
Oh, that they could be inscribed on a monument,
24 carved with an iron chisel and filled with lead,
engraved forever in the rock.
25 “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last.
26 And after my body has decayed,
yet in my body I will see God![a]
27 I will see him for myself.
Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.
I am overwhelmed at the thought!

Oh that they were (A)inscribed in a book!

They were engraved in the rock forever!

And [b]at the last He will rise up over the dust of this world.

Yet from my flesh I shall (C)behold God,

And whom my eyes will see and not another.
My [e]heart (D)faints [f]within me!
