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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 “O that my words were written down!
O that they were inscribed in a book!(A)
24 O that with an iron pen and with lead
they were engraved on a rock forever!(B)
25 For I know that my vindicator[a] lives
and that in the end he will stand upon the earth;(C)
26 and after my skin has been destroyed,
then in my flesh I shall see God,(D)
27 whom I shall see on my side,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!(E)
