Job 19

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 And Job answereth and saith: --

2 Till when do ye afflict my soul, And bruise me with words?

3 These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make yourselves strange to me --

4 And also -- truly, I have erred, With me doth my error remain.

5 If, truly, over me ye magnify yourselves, And decide against me my reproach;

6 Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round,

7 Lo, I cry out -- violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment.

8 My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth.

9 Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth the crown from my head.

10 He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth like a tree my hope.

11 And He kindleth against me His anger, And reckoneth me to Him as His adversaries.

12 Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent.

13 My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me.

14 Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me,

15 Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes.

16 To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him.

17 My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my [mother's] womb.

18 Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me.

19 Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me.

20 To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth.

21 Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me.

22 Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied?

23 Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven?

24 With a pen of iron and lead -- For ever in a rock they may be hewn.

25 That -- I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise.

26 And after my skin hath compassed this [body], Then from my flesh I see God:

27 Whom I -- I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom.

28 But ye say, `Why do we pursue after him?' And the root of the matter hath been found in me.

29 Be ye afraid because of the sword, For furious [are] the punishments of the sword, That ye may know that [there is] a judgment.

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Then Job answered:

2 How long will you torment me and crush me with words?

3 You have humiliated me ten times now, and you mistreat me without shame.

4 Even if it is true that I have sinned, my mistake concerns only me.

5 If you really want to appear superior to me and would use my disgrace as evidence against me,

6 then understand that it is God who has wronged me and caught me in His net.

7 I cry out: Violence! but get no response; I call for help, but there is no justice.

8 He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through; He has veiled my paths with darkness.

9 He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.

10 He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined. He uproots my hope like a tree.

11 His anger burns against me, and He regards me as [one of] His enemies.

12 His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and camp around my tent.

13 He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.

14 My relatives stop coming by, and my close friends have forgotten me.

15 My house guests and female servants regard me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.

16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer, even if I beg him with my own mouth.

17 My breath is offensive to my wife, and my own children find me repulsive.

18 Even young boys scorn me. When I stand up, they mock me.

19 All of my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me.

20 My skin and my flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

21 Have mercy on me, my friends, have mercy, for God's hand has struck me.

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

23 I wish that my words were written down, that they were recorded on a scroll

24 or were inscribed in stone forever by an iron stylus and lead!

25 But I know my living Redeemer, and He will stand on the dust at last.

26 Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet I will see God in my flesh.

27 I will see Him myself; my eyes will look at [Him], and not as a stranger. My heart longs within me.

28 If you say, "How will we pursue him, since the root of the problem lies with him?"

29 be afraid of the sword, because wrath [brings] punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.
