1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)
Job 19
1 Job, complaining of his friends' cruelty, sheweth there is misery enough in him to feed their cruelty. 21, 28 He craveth pity. 25 He believeth the resurrection.

19:1 ¶
And Job answered and said,

19:2
How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?

19:3
These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.

19:4
And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.

19:5
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,

19:6
Know now that +God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.

19:7
Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

19:8
He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

19:9
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

19:10
He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree.

19:11
And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies.

19:12
His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent.

19:13
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.

19:14
My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.

19:15
The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.

19:16
I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.

19:17
My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother's] womb.

19:18
Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me.

19:19
All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.

19:20
My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

19:21
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of +God hath touched me.

19:22
Why do ye persecute me as *God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

19:23
Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!

19:24
That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!

19:25
And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth;

19:26
And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see +God;

19:27
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another:my reins are consumed within me.

19:28
If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me,

19:29
Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.
