Job 19:22-29

GNT

NIV

22 Why must you persecute me the way God does? Haven't you tormented me enough?
22 Why do you pursue me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
23 How I wish that someone would remember my words and record them in a book!
23 “Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,
24 Or with a chisel carve my words in stone and write them so that they would last forever.
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock forever!
25 But I know there is someone in heaven who will come at last to my defense.
25 I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
26 Even after my skin is eaten by disease, while still in this body I will see God.
26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God;
27 I will see him with my own eyes, and he will not be a stranger. My courage failed because you said,
27 I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!
28 "How can we torment him?" You looked for some excuse to attack me.
28 “If you say, ‘How we will hound him, since the root of the trouble lies in him, ’
29 But now, be afraid of the sword - the sword that brings God's wrath on sin, so that you will know there is one who judges.
29 you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment. ”
