23 “Oh that my words were now written!
    Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24 That with an iron pen and lead
    they were engraved in the rock forever!
25 But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives.
    In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26 After my skin is destroyed,
    then I will see God in my flesh,
27 whom I, even I, will see on my side.
    My eyes will see, and not as a stranger.

“My heart is consumed within me.

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!
