              Job 19:21-29
21 My friends, I beg you for pity!
    God has made me his target.
22 Hasn't he already done enough?
    Why do you join the attack?
23 I wish that my words
could be written down
24     or chiseled into rock.
25 I know that my Protector[a] lives,
and at the end
    he will stand on this earth.
26 My flesh may be destroyed,
yet from this body
    I will see God.[b]
27 Yes, I will see him for myself,
    and I long for that moment.
28 My friends, you think up ways
to blame and torment me, saying
    I brought it on myself.
29 But watch out for the judgment,
    when God will punish you!
