Then Job answered and said, |
|
19:1 ¶
Then Job°
answered°°
and said,°° |
|
19:2
How long will ye vex my soul, and destroy me with words? only know that the Lord has dealt with me thus. |
|
19:2
How long°°
will ye vex°°
my soul,°
and break°°
me in pieces°
with words?° |
|
19:3
Ye speak against me; ye do not feel for me, but bear hard upon me. |
|
19:3
These°
ten°
times°
have ye reproached°°
me: ye are not°
ashamed°°
[that] ye make yourselves strange°°
to me. |
|
19:4
Yea verily, I have erred in truth, (but the error abides with myself) in having spoken words which it was not right [to speak]; and my words err, and are unreasonable. |
|
19:4
And°
be it indeed°
[that] I have erred,°°
mine error°
remaineth°°
with°
myself. |
|
19:5
But alas! for ye magnify yourselves against me, and insult me with reproach. |
|
19:5
If°
indeed°
ye will magnify°°
[yourselves] against°
me, and plead°°
against°
me my reproach:° |
|
19:6
Know then that it is the Lord that has troubled [me], and has raised his bulwark against me. |
|
19:6
Know°°
now°
that°
Eloah°
hath overthrown°°
me, and hath compassed°°°
me with his net.°° |
|
19:7
Behold, I laugh at reproach; I will not speak: [or] I will cry out, but [there is] nowhere judgment. |
|
19:7
Behold,°
I cry out°°
of wrong,°
but I am not°
heard:°°
I cry aloud,°°
but [there is] no°
judgment.° |
|
19:8
I am fenced round about, and can by no means escape: he has set darkness before my face. |
|
19:8
He hath fenced up°°
my way°
that I cannot°
pass,°°
and he hath set°°
darkness°
in°
my paths.° |
|
19:9
And he has stripped me of my glory, and has taken the crown from my head. |
|
19:9
He hath stripped°°
me of°°°
my glory,°
and taken°°
the crown°
[from] my head.° |
|
19:10
He has torn me around about, and I am gone: and he has cut off my hope like a tree. |
|
19:10
He hath destroyed°°
me on every side,°
and I am gone:°°°
and mine hope°
hath he removed°°
like a tree.° |
|
19:11
And he has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy. |
|
19:11
He hath also kindled°°
his wrath°
against°
me, and he counteth°°
me unto him as [one of] his enemies.° |
|
19:12
His troops also came upon me with one accord, liars in wait compassed my ways. |
|
19:12
His troops°
come°°
together,°
and raise up°°
their way°
against°
me, and encamp°°
round about°
my tabernacle.° |
|
19:13
My brethren have stood aloof from me; they have recognized strangers [rather] than me: and my friends have become pitiless. |
|
19:13
He hath put°°
my brethren°
far°°°
from°°
me, and mine acquaintance°°
are verily°
estranged°°
from°
me. |
|
19:14
My nearest of kin have not acknowledged me, and they that knew my name, have forgotten me. |
|
19:14
My kinsfolk°
have failed,°°
and my familiar friends°°
have forgotten°°
me. |
|
19:15
[As for] my household, and my maid-servants, I was a stranger before them. |
|
19:15
They that dwell°°
in mine house,°
and my maids,°
count°°
me for a stranger:°°
I am°
an alien°
in their sight.° |
|
19:16
I called my servant, and he hearkened not; and my mouth intreated [him]. |
|
19:16
I called°°
my servant,°
and he gave [me] no°
answer;°°
I intreated°°
him with°
my mouth.° |
|
19:17
And I besought my wife, and earnestly intreated the sons of my concubines. |
|
19:17
My breath°
is strange°°
to my wife,°
though I intreated°°°
for the children's°
[sake] of mine own body.° |
|
19:18
But they rejected me for ever; whenever I rise up, they speak against me. |
|
19:18
Yea,°
young children°
despised°°
me; I arose,°°
and they spake°°
against me. |
|
19:19
They that saw me abhorred me: the very persons whom I had loved, rose up against me. |
|
19:19
All°
my inward°
friends°
abhorred°°
me: and they whom°
I loved°°
are turned°°
against me. |
|
19:20
My flesh is corrupt under my skin, and my bones are held in [my] teeth. |
|
19:20
My bone°
cleaveth°°
to my skin°
and to my flesh,°
and I am escaped°°
with the skin°
of my teeth.° |
|
19:21
Pity me, pity me, O friends; for it is the hand of the Lord that has touched me. |
|
19:21
Have pity°°
upon°
me, have pity°°
upon°
me, O ye°
my friends;°
for°
the hand°
of Eloah°
hath touched°°
me. |
|
19:22
Wherefore do ye persecute me as also the Lord [does], and are not satisfied with my flesh? |
|
19:22
Why°
do ye persecute°°
me as°
El,°
and are not°
satisfied°°
with my flesh?°° |
|
19:23
For oh that my words were written, and that they were recorded in a book forever, |
|
19:23
Oh that°°°
my words°
were°
now°
written!°°
oh that°°°
they were°
printed°°
in a book!° |
|
19:24
with an iron pen and lead, or graven in the rocks! |
|
19:24
That they were graven°°
with an iron°
pen°
and lead°
in the rock°
for ever!° |
|
19:25
For I know that he is eternal who is about to deliver me, |
|
19:25
For I°
know°°
[that] my redeemer°°
liveth,°
and [that] he shall stand°°
at the latter°
[day] upon°
the earth:° |
|
19:26
[and] to raise up upon the earth my skin that endures these [sufferings]: for these things have been accomplished to me of the Lord; |
|
19:26
And [though] after°
my skin°
[worms] destroy°°
this°
[body], yet in my flesh°°
shall I see°°
Eloah:° |
|
19:27
which I am conscious of in myself, which mine eye has seen, and not another, but all have been fulfilled to me in [my] bosom. |
|
19:27
Whom°
I°
shall see°°
for myself, and mine eyes°
shall behold,°°
and not°
another;°°
[though] my reins°
be consumed°°
within°
me. |
|
19:28
But if ye shall also say, What shall we say before him, and [so] find the root of the matter in him? |
|
19:28
But°
ye should say,°°
Why°
persecute°°
we him, seeing the root°
of the matter°
is found°°
in me? |
|
19:29
Do ye also beware of deceit: for wrath will come upon transgressors; and then shall they know where their substance is. |
|
19:29
Be ye afraid°°
of°°
the sword:°
for°
wrath°
[bringeth] the punishments°
of°
the sword,°
that°
ye may know°°
[there is] a judgment.°°° |
