Job 19:23-27
Legacy Standard Bible
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were (A)inscribed in a book!
24 That with an iron stylus and lead
They were engraved in the rock forever!
25 As for me, I know that (B)my [a]Redeemer lives,
And [b]at the last He will rise up over the dust of this world.
26 Even after my skin [c]is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I shall (C)behold God,
27 Whom I [d]myself shall behold,
And whom my eyes will see and not another.
My [e]heart (D)faints [f]within me!
Job 19:23-27
Common English Bible
Brief hope
23 Oh, that my words were written down,
inscribed on a scroll
24 with an iron instrument and lead,
forever engraved on stone.
25 But I know that my redeemer[a] is alive
and afterward he’ll rise upon the dust.
26 After my skin has been torn apart this way—
then from my flesh[b] I’ll see God,
27 whom I’ll see myself—
my eyes see,[c] and not a stranger’s.
I am utterly dejected.
