(Job 19:1) Then Job answered and said,
(Job 19:2) How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
(Job 19:3) These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed {that} ye make yourselves strange to me.
(Job 19:4) And be it indeed {that} I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
(Job 19:5) If indeed ye will magnify {yourselves} against me, and plead against me my reproach:
(Job 19:6) Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
(Job 19:7) Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but {there is} no judgment.
(Job 19:8) He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
(Job 19:9) He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown {from} my head.
(Job 19:10) He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
(Job 19:11) He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as {one of} his enemies.
(Job 19:12) His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
(Job 19:13) He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
(Job 19:14) My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
(Job 19:15) They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
(Job 19:16) I called my servant, and he gave {me} no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
(Job 19:17) My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's {sake} of mine own body.
(Job 19:18) Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
(Job 19:19) All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
(Job 19:20) My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
(Job 19:21) Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
(Job 19:22) Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
(Job 19:23) Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
(Job 19:24) That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
(Job 19:25) For I know {that} my redeemer liveth, and {that} he shall stand at the latter {day} upon the earth:
(Job 19:26) And {though} after my skin {worms} destroy this {body}, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
(Job 19:27) Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; {though} my reins be consumed within me.
(Job 19:28) But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
(Job 19:29) Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath {bringeth} the punishments of the sword, that ye may know {there is} a judgment.
