Job 19:21-27

English Standard Version Anglicised

²¹ Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, O you my friends,
    for the hand of God has ^(A)touched me!
²² Why do you, like God, ^(B)pursue me?
    Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?
²³ “Oh that my words were written!
    Oh that they were ^(C)inscribed in a book!
²⁴ Oh that with an iron ^(D)pen and lead
    they were engraved in the rock for ever!
²⁵ For I ^(E)know that my ^(F)Redeemer lives,
    and at the last he will stand upon the ^(G)earth.^[a]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
    yet in^[b] my flesh I shall ^(H)see God,
²⁷ whom I shall see for myself,
    and my eyes shall behold, and not ^(I)another.
    My heart ^(J)faints within me!
