<TITLE>Job 19</TITLE><BR>Job 19<BR>1 Then Job answered and said,<BR>2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?<BR>3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.<BR>4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.<BR>5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:<BR>6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.<BR>7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.<BR>8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.<BR>9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.<BR>10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.<BR>11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.<BR>12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.<BR>13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.<BR>14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.<BR>15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.<BR>16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.<BR>17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.<BR>18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.<BR>19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.<BR>20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.<BR>21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.<BR>22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?<BR>23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!<BR>24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!<BR>25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:<BR>26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:<BR>27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.<BR>28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?<BR>29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.<BR><BR><BR>
