Job 19:23-27
New American Standard Bible
Job Says My Redeemer Lives
23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were (A)recorded in a book!
24 That with an iron stylus and lead
They were engraved in the rock forever!
25 Yet as for me, I know that (B)my Redeemer lives,
And at the last, He will take His stand on the [a]earth.
26 Even after my skin [b]is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I will (C)see God,
27 Whom I, on my part, shall behold for myself,
And whom my eyes will see, and not another.
My [c]heart (D)faints [d]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.
