Job 19:20-27

20I am nothing but skin and bones; I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth. Or only by my gums

21“Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.

22Why do you pursue me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?

23“Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,

24that they were inscribed with an iron tool on Or and lead, or engraved in rock forever!

25I know that my redeemer Or vindicator lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. Or on my grave

26And after my skin has been destroyed, yet Or And after I awake, / though this body has been destroyed, / then in Or destroyed, / apart from my flesh I will see God;

27I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
