Job 19:23-27
Holman 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 my living Redeemer,[a](A)
and He will stand on the dust[b] at last.[c](B)
26 Even after my skin has been destroyed,[d]
yet I will see God in[e] my flesh.(C)
27 I will see Him myself;
my eyes will look at Him, and not as a stranger.[f]
My heart longs[g] within me.(D)
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.”
