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)

23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron pen and lead
they were graven in the rock for ever!

and at last he will stand upon the earth;[b]
26 and after my skin has been thus destroyed,
then from[c] my flesh I shall see God,[d]
27 whom I shall see on my side,[e]
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!
