Job 19:23-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 “O that my words were written down!
O that they were inscribed in a book!(A)
24 O that with an iron pen and with lead
they were engraved on a rock forever!(B)
25 For I know that my vindicator[a] lives
and that in the end he will stand upon the earth;(C)
26 and after my skin has been destroyed,
then in my flesh I shall see God,(D)
27 whom I shall see on my side,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!(E)

Job 19:23-27
The Voice
23 What I would give to have my words taken down,
to have them inscribed for posterity on a scroll.
24 No! More than that!
To have them chiseled with iron filled with lead—
carved in stone for all eternity.
25 Besides, I know my Redeemer lives,
and in the end He will rise and take His stand on the earth.
26 And though my skin has been stripped off,
still, in my flesh, I will see God.
27 I, myself, will see Him:
not some stranger, but actually me, with these eyes.
Toward this end, my deepest longings pine away within my chest.
