Job 19:23-29
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

23 ‘O that my words were written down!
    O that they were inscribed in a book!
24 O that with an iron pen and with lead
    they were engraved on a rock for ever!
25 For I know that my Redeemer[a] lives,
    and that at the last he[b] will stand upon the earth;[c]
26 and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
    then in[d] my flesh I shall see God,[e]
27 whom I shall see on my side,[f]
    and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
    My heart faints within me!
28 If you say, “How we will persecute him!”
    and, “The root of the matter is found in him”;
29 be afraid of the sword,
    for wrath brings the punishment of the sword,
    so that you may know there is a judgement.’

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!

28 “If you say, ‘How we will hound(I) him,
    since the root of the trouble lies in him,[f]’
29 you should fear the sword yourselves;
    for wrath will bring punishment by the sword,(J)
    and then you will know that there is judgment.[g]”(K)
