Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 019
019:001
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with
words
019:002
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that
ye make yourselves strange to me
019:003
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with
myself
019:004
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead
against me my reproach
019:005
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me
with his net
019:006
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud,
but there is no judgment
019:007
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set
darkness in my paths
019:008
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my
head
019:009
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine
hope hath he removed like a tree
019:010
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me
unto him as one of his enemies
019:011
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me,
and encamp round about my tabernacle
019:012
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are
verily estranged from me
019:013
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have
forgotten me
019:014
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a
stranger: I am an alien in their sight
019:015
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him
with my mouth
019:016
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the
children's sake of mine own body
019:017
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake
against me
019:018
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are
turned against me
019:019
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped
with the skin of my teeth
019:020
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the
hand of God hath touched me
019:021
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my
flesh
019:022
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed
in a book
019:023
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock
for ever
019:024
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at
the latter day upon the earth
019:025
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my
flesh shall I see God
019:026
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and
not another; though my reins be consumed within me
019:027
But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of
the matter is found in me
019:028
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments
of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment
