Darby - Job - 19

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 thatGod 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 ofGod hath touched me.

19:22  Why do ye persecute me asGod, 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 seeGod;

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.
