Job 19:23-27
Lexham English Bible

23 “O that[a] my words could be written down!
O that they could be inscribed in a scroll![b]
24 That with a pen of iron and with lead
they might be engraved on a rock forever!
25 But[c] I myself[d] know that my redeemer is alive,
and at the last he will stand up upon the earth.[e]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
but[f] from[g] my flesh I will see God,
27 whom I will see for myself,[h]
and whom my eyes will see and not a stranger.[i]
My heart faints within me.[j]
