Job 19:23-27

Job Replies: My Redeemer Lives

23 "Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were t inscribed in a book!
 24 Oh that with an iron u pen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!
 25 For I v know that my w Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the x earth. 1
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in 2 my flesh I shall y see God,
 27 whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not z another.
My heart a faints within me!
