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
International Standard Version
23 If only my words were written down;
if only they were inscribed in a book
24 using an iron stylus with lead for ink!
Then they’d be engraved in rock forever.
25 “As for me, I know that my Vindicator[a] is alive;
And he, the Last One,[b] will take his stand on the soil.[c]
26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,
clothed in my flesh I will see God,
27 whom I will see for myself.
My own eyes will look at him—
there won’t be anyone else for me!—
He is the culmination of my innermost desire.”
