Job 19:23-27
New Living Translation
23 “Oh, that my words could be recorded.
Oh, that they could be inscribed on a monument,
24 carved with an iron chisel and filled with lead,
engraved forever in the rock.
25 “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last.
26 And after my body has decayed,
yet in my body I will see God![a]
27 I will see him for myself.
Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.
I am overwhelmed at the thought!
Notas al pie
- 19:26 Or without my body I will see God. The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.
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.
