Job 19:23-27
English Standard Version

23 “Oh that my words were written!
    Oh that they were (A)inscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron (B)pen and lead
    they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 For I (C)know that my (D)Redeemer lives,
    and at the last he will stand upon the (E)earth.[a]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
    yet in[b] my flesh I shall (F)see God,
27 whom I shall see for myself,
    and my eyes shall behold, and not (G)another.
    My heart (H)faints within me!

Job 19:23-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible

23 I wish that my words were written down,
that they were recorded on a scroll
24 or were inscribed in stone forever
by an iron stylus and lead!
25 But I know my living Redeemer,[a](A)
and He will stand on the dust[b] at last.[c](B)
26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,[d]
yet I will see God in[e] my flesh.(C)
27 I will see Him myself;
my eyes will look at Him, and not as a stranger.[f]
My heart longs[g] within me.(D)
