Book 29 : KETUVIM - JOB - Chapter 019

19:001

Job answered and said

19:002

How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words

19:003

These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed that ye deal harshly with me

19:004

And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself

19:005

If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach

19:006

Know now that G-d hath subverted my cause, and hath compassed me with His net

19:007

Behold, I cry out: 'Violence!' but I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no justice

19:008

He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths

19:009

He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head

19:010

He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree

19:011

He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries

19:012

His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent

19:013

He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me

19:014

My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me

19:015

They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight

19:016

I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, though I entreat him with my mouth

19:017

My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe

19:018

Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me

19:019

All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me

19:020

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth

19:021

Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of G-d hath touched me

19:022

Why do ye persecute me as G-d, and are not satisfied with my flesh

19:023

Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book

19:024

That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever

19:025

But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust

19:026

And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see G-d

19:027

Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within me

19:028

If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me

19:029

Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment
