Job 19:27

Verse 27 of 29. The 19th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

23“Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

24That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!

25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.

26After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,

27whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.

28If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,

29be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”
