Job 19:23-27
Christian Standard Bible
23 I wish that my words were written down,
that they were recorded on a scroll
24 or were inscribed in stone forever
by an iron stylus and lead!
25 But I know that my Redeemer lives,[a](A)
and at the end he will stand on the dust.(B)
26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,[b]
yet I will see God in[c] my flesh.(C)
27 I will see him myself;
my eyes will look at him, and not as a stranger.[d]
My heart longs[e] within me.(D)
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)
