23 “How I wish my words were written down,
    ·written [L inscribed] on a scroll.
24 I wish they were carved with an iron pen ·into [L and] lead,
    or carved into stone ·forever [or as a witness; C Job wants the following statement to last].
25 I know that my ·Defender [Redeemer; or defender; redeemer; C likely referring to God himself] lives,
    and ·in the end [or at last] he will ·stand upon [rise up on] the earth [L dust].
26 Even after my skin has been ·destroyed [or peeled off],
    ·in [from; or without] my flesh I will see God.
27 I will see him myself;
    I ·myself [L and not a stranger] will see him with my very own eyes.
    How my heart ·wants that to happen [L fades/faints within me]!
