Job 19 (WEBP)

[1] Then Job answered,
[2] “How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
[3] You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
[4] If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
[5] If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
[6] know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
[7] “Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
[8] He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
[9] He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
[10] He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.
[11] He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
[12] His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and encamp around my tent.
[13] “He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
[14] My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
[15] Those who dwell in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.
[16] I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
[17] My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
[18] Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
[19] All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
[20] My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
[21] “Have pity on me. Have pity on me, you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me.
[22] Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
[23] “Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
[24] That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!
[25] But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
[26] After my skin is destroyed, then I will see God in my flesh,
[27] whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.
[28] If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,
[29] be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”

King James w/Strong’s #s

Job 19 (KJVS)

[1] Then Job H347 answered H6030 (8799) and said H559 (8799),
[2] How long will ye vex H3013 (8686) my soul H5315, and break H1792 (8762) me in pieces with words H4405?
[3] These ten H6235 times H6471 have ye reproached H3637 (8686) me: ye are not ashamed H954 (8799) [that] ye make yourselves strange H1970 (8686) to me.
[4] And be it indeed H551 [that] I have erred H7686 (8804), mine error H4879 remaineth H3885 (8799) with myself.
[5] If indeed H551 ye will magnify H1431 (8686) [yourselves] against me, and plead H3198 (8686) against me my reproach H2781:
[6] Know H3045 (8798) now H645 that God H433 hath overthrown H5791 (8765) me, and hath compassed H5362 (8689) me with his net H4686.
[7] Behold, I cry out H6817 (8799) of wrong H2555, but I am not heard H6030 (8735): I cry aloud H7768 (8762), but [there is] no judgment H4941.
[8] He hath fenced up H1443 (8804) my way H734 that I cannot pass H5674 (8799), and he hath set H7760 (8799) darkness H2822 in my paths H5410.
[9] He hath stripped H6584 (8689) me of my glory H3519, and taken H5493 (8686) the crown H5850 [from] my head H7218.
[10] He hath destroyed H5422 (8799) me on every side H5439, and I am gone H3212 (8799): and mine hope H8615 hath he removed H5265 (8686) like a tree H6086.
[11] He hath also kindled H2734 (8686) his wrath H639 against me, and he counteth H2803 (8799) me unto him as [one of] his enemies H6862.
[12] His troops H1416 come H935 (8799) together H3162, and raise up H5549 (8799) their way H1870 against me, and encamp H2583 (8799) round about H5439 my tabernacle H168.
[13] He hath put H7368 my brethren H251 far H7368 (8689) from me, and mine acquaintance H3045 (8802) are verily estranged H2114 (8804) from me.
[14] My kinsfolk H7138 have failed H2308 (8804), and my familiar friends H3045 (8794) have forgotten H7911 (8804) me.
[15] They that dwell H1481 (8802) in mine house H1004, and my maids H519, count H2803 (8799) me for a stranger H2114 (8801): I am an alien H5237 in their sight H5869.
[16] I called H7121 (8804) my servant H5650, and he gave [me] no answer H6030 (8799); I intreated H2603 (8691) him with H1119 my mouth H6310.
[17] My breath H7307 is strange H2114 (8804) to my wife H802, though I intreated H2589 (8800) for the children’s H1121 [sake] of mine own body H990.
[18] Yea, young children H5759 despised H3988 (8804) me; I arose H6965 (8799), and they spake H1696 (8762) against me.
[19] All my inward H5475 friends H4962 abhorred H8581 (8765) me: and they whom I loved H157 (8804) are turned H2015 (8738) against me.
[20] My bone H6106 cleaveth H1692 (8804) to my skin H5785 and to my flesh H1320, and I am escaped H4422 (8691) with the skin H5785 of my teeth H8127.
[21] Have pity H2603 (8798) upon me, have pity H2603 (8798) upon me, O ye my friends H7453; for the hand H3027 of God H433 hath touched H5060 (8804) me.
[22] Why do ye persecute H7291 (8799) me as God H410, and are not satisfied H7646 (8799) with my flesh H1320?
[23] Oh that H5414 (8799) my words H4405 were now H645 written H3789 (8735)! oh that H5414 (8799) they were printed H2710 (8714) in a book H5612!
[24] That they were graven H2672 (8735) with an iron H1270 pen H5842 and lead H5777 in the rock H6697 for ever H5703!
[25] For I know H3045 (8804) [that] my redeemer H1350 (8802) liveth H2416, and [that] he shall stand H6965 (8799) at the latter H314 [day] upon the earth H6083:
[26] And [though] after H310 my skin H5785 [worms] destroy H5362 (8765) this [body], yet in my flesh H1320 shall I see H2372 (8799) God H433:
[27] Whom I shall see H2372 (8799) for myself, and mine eyes H5869 shall behold H7200 (8804), and not another H2114 (8801); [though] my reins H3629 be consumed H3615 (8804) within H2436 me.
[28] But ye should say H559 (8799), Why persecute H7291 (8799) we him, seeing the root H8328 of the matter H1697 is found H4672 (8738) in me?
[29] Be ye afraid H1481 (8798) of the sword H2719: for wrath H2534 [bringeth] the punishments H5771 of H6440 the sword H2719, that ye may know H3045 (8799) [there is] a judgment H1779 (8675) H1779.

Young’s Literal Translation

Job 19 (YLT)

[1] And Job answereth and saith:-
[2] Till when do ye afflict my soul, And bruise me with words?
[3] These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make yourselves strange to me-
[4] And also-truly, I have erred, With me doth my error remain.
[5] If, truly, over me ye magnify yourselves, And decide against me my reproach;
[6] Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round,
[7] Lo, I cry out-violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment.
[8] My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth.
[9] Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth the crown from my head.
[10] He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth like a tree my hope.
[11] And He kindleth against me His anger, And reckoneth me to Him as His adversaries.
[12] Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent.
[13] My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me.
[14] Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me,
[15] Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes.
[16] To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him.
[17] My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my mother’s womb.
[18] Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me.
[19] Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me.
[20] To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth.
[21] Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me.
[22] Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied?
[23] Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven?
[24] With a pen of iron and lead- For ever in a rock they may be hewn.
[25] That-I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise.
[26] And after my skin hath compassed this body, Then from my flesh I see God:
[27] Whom I-I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom.
[28] But ye say, ‘Why do we pursue after him?’ And the root of the matter hath been found in me.
[29] Be ye afraid because of the sword, For furious are the punishments of the sword, That ye may know that there is a judgment.
