        Job 19
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1.  Then 
      
      
        <b>Job answered </b>
      
      
        and said,
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>3.  These ten times have ye reproached me</b>
      
      
        : 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/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>25.  For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon 
        the earth:</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 26.  And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 27.  Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though 
        my reins be consumed within me.</b>
      
    <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.
